Wrap a Foster Child in Comfort Today.

For five years, Cape Cod Foster Closet has grown from a local garage into a vital community lifeline, providing clothes, gear, and care to families when they need it most.

We are the Cape Cod Foster Closet

We help local foster, kinship, and adoptive families by providing urgently needed clothing, shoes, toiletries, baby gear, and more…

Many items are donated by our generous community and provided free of charge to families caring for children who are not being raised by their biological parents.

We have two store locations on Cape Cod:

  1. Main store is located in Orleans with a full selection of clothing and infant/toddler furniture

We got a call Friday at 3pm and the kids arrived at 7pm… a sister and brother, ages 1 and 2. When I unpacked the black trash bag that the social worker left, the clothes were filthy and most were for older children. I called the Foster Closet and we were able to get pajamas, underwear, socks, and outfits for each of the kids that same night.

    “I was so excited to go and choose some clothes that I like, and new sneakers, and a toy to take home!
    And I got some books that I can keep forever!”

    “I thought my time of raising children was over and done, but then my daughter ended up in jail and I didn’t want her two kids going into the foster care system so I agreed to take care of them.”

    “We didn’t want to buy very much because we didn’t know what age child we would get. We got a call on Friday… we went to the Closet on Monday morning and stocked up…”
