Make an
impact today

At Cloth+Foster, we believe that every child in foster care deserves more than just a place to stay—they deserve to feel safe, valued, and seen. But too often, children arrive in unfamiliar homes with nothing but the clothes on their back.

Your donation changes that.

By giving today, you’re helping us provide essential items—like clothing, diapers, hygiene kits, and comfort items—to children and families across Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania, Wahkiakum, and Lewis counties in Southwest Washington. You’re equipping caregivers to meet the needs of children from birth through 18 years old, with dignity and care.

Together, we can ease transitions, uplift families, and remind every child in care that their community is behind them.

Because every child deserves the chance to thrive—with comfort, dignity, and hope.

“Cloth+ Foster ... go beyond the basics every day, considering who the children are, their backgrounds and culture include, and sometimes the extra of thinking how special they would feel if the child knew the product was picked “just for them”. They do this anonymously and tirelessly, not just for me but for anyone that asks.”
