Sweet Potato's Closet is a locally operated non-profit that provides everyday needs and essentials to resource/foster families and other at risk youth. When children come into foster care, they frequently come with very little personal belongings. Children are dropped off with a moment's notice, and the foster family now needs to make sure all needs are met. Things like clothing, diapers, wipes, car seats, baby gear, backpacks, socks, underwear, and shoes are all immediate needs, and the cost adds up, especially if a family has accepted a placement of multiple children. Sweet Potato's Closet is able to provide all of those needed items so children don't have to go without, and foster families can continue helping kids! Sweet Potato's also serves other at risk youth, working with CPS, CARE, local schools, and several other programs to keep children out of foster care in the first place when it is safe. Clients who qualify our services can access them for free, we don't charge for anyth
