Former Director, Kate Baldi, and I went shopping last week to restock the shelves of the Kid's Closet. We were nearly out of summer pajamas and boys toddler clothing. Now the shelves look great and are ready for local foster children and foster parents to go "shopping" for summer items!
A huge THANK YOU to all who have donated or contributed to the success of this program. There were a total of 465 visits to the Kid's Closet in 2007 and we served 335 Greene County foster children. 
The boys shelves are restocked and additional outfits hang in the back of the Closet. As you can see, we are still needing toddler clothing. Please see our "Wish List" section for details. Clothing can be donated to the Council of Churches office or to the Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks on Primrose. All donated clothing items must be brand new with tags attached. These new clothing items help to enhance the self-esteem of foster children.
This is the view foster children, foster parents, caseworkers, and volunteers first see as they enter the Kid's Closet.
Special "Thanks" to the staff and volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks. They help organize the clothing, help families find clothing, schedule appointments, and track monthly statistics. This program would not be possible without their wonderful partnership and support!
