Foster & Crisis Closet

We strive to encourage and support children in crisis and foster families. Our foster closet is equipped with items to improve lives, rebuild dignity, and enrich families for healing and hope for the future.

Helping to Equip Foster Families

Equipping the Called provides new/gently used, current styled clothing, undies/diapers, and toiletries for foster families in Southern Illinois.

We also help reduce the financial strain a new placement can have on a foster family by freeing up funds that would otherwise be used to fulfill these immediate needs. These needs are not always met immediately and this is where we step in.
