NO FAMILY ALONE. NO CHILD FORGOTTEN.

The Oak Forest Foster Closet was founded with one goal in mind. To make it easier for families to say yes to fostering and adopting.

Foster, adoptive, and kinship families welcome children with love, but often face added expenses and challenges that make providing essentials more difficult.

Our mission is to uplift and empower foster, adoptive, and kinship families by supporting them with vital resources such as clothing, diapers, formula, bedding, books, and more throughout their journey. When families have what they need, they can focus on what truly matters: creating stable, nurturing homes where every child can thrive.

Together with our community partners, volunteers, and donors, we’re making it possible for families to find the essentials they need when they need them most.

  • Immediate Impact: Supplies distributed directly to families in need.

  • Community Collaboration: Partnerships with over 25 Houston-area organizations.

  • Trusted Resource: More than half of eligible foster families in Houston are registered with us.

  • Sustainable Giving: Donations turn into tangible outcomes for children.

Your generosity lights up the lives of so many foster children. Thank you for giving not only clothing and shoes, but also dignity, confidence, and a warm embrace to their hearts. You are a true example of love in action!

We Distribute Supplies

Families receive what they need, when they need it.

Children Thrive

Confidence, stability, and hope are restored.

What began as a small community effort in Oak Forest has grown into a vital resource for hundreds of foster, adoptive, and kinship families across Houston. Founded by volunteers who saw a gap in resources, the Closet now partners with agencies, churches, and donors to meet critical needs with compassion and dignity.

Together, we can ensure every child in foster, adoptive and kinship care feels seen, valued, and cared for.
