Release Care Closet
Urgent Needs ListThe Release Care Closet
The Release Care Closet is a volunteer-run resource for children and families involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Our goal is to provide tangible help to families including clothing, diapers, books, blankets and toys, but sometimes have pack and plays, car seats and other needed items.
The Release Care Closet will be open for families to browse on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 9am-noon. Items are provided free of charge. If families are unable to attend during open shopping times or have more urgent needs, they may contact fostercare@releaseinc.org.
