On Sunday we had the privelege of picking berries with families at Majestic Farms Blueberries!
For years their generosity has blessed Foster Fams and caregivers with this free experience; providing kiddos time in nature and a healthy treat. 🫐🫐

We are in our final push to collect school supplies for our Back to School Stop & Shop!

Next week, registered foster, adoptive, kinship, and relative caregiver families will “shop” at our event and choose the school supplies each child in their home needs to start the year feeling prepared and confident.

At Cloth+Foster, we believe removing tangible barriers allows caregivers to focus on the Heart Work. Something as simple as a backpack filled with the right supplies can ease financial stress and help a child walk into their classroom feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn!

Grab supplies and drop at Cloth+Foster HQ, Results Fitness Training, Full Force Fitness.

Today at HQ:

Foster families shouldn't have to navigate their journey alone.

Today, our Chief Operating Officer, Heather Friend, who also serves on the Cloth + Foster Board of Directors, joined our Community Partnerships Team in delivering a donation to Cloth + Foster, an organization dedicated to supporting foster families and the children in their care.

While these items will help children prepare for the new school year, the greater purpose is to remind foster families that they are not alone. We're proud to support Cloth + Foster and the important work they do to provide stability, dignity, and hope to children and caregivers in our community.

Every 90 days.

At Cloth+Foster, we believe support should be ongoing, not one-time.

That’s why our ongoing Tangible Support Program allows caregivers to request essentials every 90 days for each child in their care. Clothing, shoes, diapers, hygiene items, bedding, developmental toys, and more because removing tangible barriers helps caregivers focus on the Heart Work.

Foster care is a marathon, not a moment.
Let’s support the families who keep showing up. 🧡

We’re rolling with a fresh set of tires! 🚗

Thanks to and their Tires for Purpose program, our Cloth+Foster truck is all set to keep moving safely and efficiently. This donation will help us transport tangible goods, support caregiver events, and serve children and families experiencing foster care throughout Southwest Washington, ensuring we can keep serving our community.

Thank you, Les Schwab, for making this possible! 🙏 Together, we’re driving change! 🛞

Thank you to Amberlynn Lane's 3rd grade music class at Fishers Landing Elementary School for collecting new shoes for children experiencing foster care at their performance of "SHOES".
We really thought it was a clever way to host a drive and support the community. We are so thankful.
