This Christmas we have the opportunity to bless foster communities through our fam closet Christmas Outreach. Aimed at filling an unmet need in Muscogee County and the surrounding areas, fam closet is a clothing bank for foster families across the region to help with the initial challenges of a foster placement as well as on-going support by partnering with DFCS, and other Foster Care support ministries and agencies in our area.
We will serve these families by providing them with new, and gently used clothing items, free of charge. Located at our building at 5131 Hamilton Rd., local Foster Care Advocates will have the opportunity to come and select the needed items for children ages 0-18 years of age.
