🛍️ Clearance Season = Big Help for Foster Kids!

Local stores like Walmart and Meijer in Charlotte have lots of clothing on clearance right now — many with extra savings on clearance items. This is a wonderful time to donate new clothing to Eaton Foster Closet. Any amount truly helps!

Sizes we especially need right now:
👕 Boys: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T
👗 Girls: 7–8, 10–12, 14–16
👟 Shoes (boys & girls): Little kid sizes 8, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3
❄️ Winter boots are always needed!

And looking ahead — if your kids have shorts they’ve outgrown, we would love them! We’re completely out and will need to restock for spring and summer.

✨On Tuesday the 20th, 3:00-6:00pm, We will be open for donations to be dropped off✨

Thank you for supporting local foster families! We truly appreciate our generous community!

🎁Every Child’s Wish List Has Been Fulfilled!

Thanks to our incredible community, all of the Christmas wish lists for individual children have been sponsored! 💙

If you still wish to give, we warmly welcome additional support:

📦 Amazon Wish List:
We’ve added items we urgently need to restock clothing and essentials in our free store, which serves local foster families year-round. Everything ships directly to us—easy, quick, and always appreciated.
See the link in comments.

🎁 Gift Cards for Teens:
We are requesting $50 Target or Old Navy gift cards so our teens can choose their own clothes and express their own style. These are a huge blessing and allow teens to pick what makes them feel confident. Gift cards can be sent directly to our building at:

Eaton Foster Closet

Thank you for continuing to show up with love, compassion, and kindness for our foster community.

🎄✨ Help Make Christmas Brighter for a Child in Foster Care! ✨🎄

Our Christmas Giving Program has begun — and we’d love your help! Each year, generous community members sponsor local foster children by purchasing gifts from their wish lists. 🎁

By sponsoring a child, you’re not only bringing joy to a young person in foster care — you’re also giving meaningful support to the foster families who open their homes and hearts during the holidays. 💙

If you’d like to sponsor a child this Christmas, send us a PM, and we’ll match you with a specific child’s list.

All gifts must be dropped off at our building in Charlotte on Monday, December 8 or Tuesday, December 9.

Thank you for helping us spread joy and lighten the load for our amazing foster families!
