The Foster Closet Corp is a Northeast Florida 501(c)(3), founded in 2009, that supports foster, kinship, and adoptive families. Each fall it runs a Halloween costume drive that matches donated new and gently used costumes to individual foster children by family, age, and size, then gives them free to the families. Donors arrange drop-off, and the program sets a fall sign-up deadline for families. Visit fostercloset.org for the current year's costume drive and donation details.
