Overview

Mission

At caleb's closet, we love and support those coming into care, as well as those providing foster care. We provide children in foster care with free clothing, toys, personal care products, baby items, and other essential needs. When children enter foster care, they often arrive at their new homes with only the clothing on their backs. We provide these children with a new duffel bag or suitcase filled with clothing, basic essentials and other comfort items, thereby sending these children a message that they are valued and cared for by our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, caleb's closet continued to meet the growing needs of children in foster care and their caregivers. During the year, we fulfilled 904 clothing and resource orders, including 381 first-time orders for children newly entering foster care. Each order provided essential clothing, shoes, personal care items, and other necessities to help children transition into safe and stable environments. We also served 958 children through six special events, including christmas, easter, halloween, back-to-school, and toy giveaway programs, and celebrated 161 birthdays through our birthday program. In addition, we provided 24 cribs, 8 toddler beds, 20 pack-n-plays, 60 car seats, 246 coats, more than 150 new backpacks, and thousands of clothing items and basic necessities. To better serve our community, we expanded our facility by an additional 1,000 square feet, creating dedicated volunteer space and increasing our capacity to serve children efficiently. Caleb's closet remains a 100% volunteer-run organization with no paid staff. More than 650 volunteer hours were contributed in 2025, demonstrating our community's commitment to supporting children and families impacted by foster care.
