Foster Care Closet exists to restore dignity to youth in crisis, changing the way they enter and experience foster care. We do this by providing brand NEW clothing up to twice a year for each youth... free of charge. In 2024 we served over 2,200 youth through our Mobile Closet Events and Store.
They can pick out for themselves: 5 NEW outfits including shoes, socks, underwear, seasonal outerwear, comfort and hygiene items.
To Restore Dignity to our youth in crisis we need:
A donation of $350 will help us give us support one youth in crisis, one time a year.
A donation of $700 will allow us to support that one youth in crisis twice a year.
Our goal this year is to raise $500,000 in 2025 to help us to serve more youth in crisis.
- Nebraska has about 4000 youth in care at any given time, and in 2023 we served over 2,200 youth! We currently need to raise over $500,000 in 2025!
- We serve youth in care in the entire state of Nebraska, and in the Omaha area we provide NEW clothing for youth in crisis.
- Our founder, Leigh Esau, grew up in foster care and became a foster parent, eventually adopting 4 youth out of foster care.
