Foster Care Closet has been serving youth in foster care since 2006. They have grown from handing out used clothes from their founder’s house to a statewide organization now serving kids in all 93 of Nebraska’s counties. Their staff is dedicated to restoring dignity to youth in crisis and works with urgency to meet the immediate needs of the kids in care.
