Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide support & resources for foster, adoptive & kinship families in North Alabama (and surrounding areas) who care for vulnerable children for a day, a week, a lifetime.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The North Alabama Foster Closet, an arm of Fostering Connections, LLC, is a community-based, volunteer-run closet on a mission to serve adoptive, foster, and kinship families across North Alabama by meeting physical needs with new and gently used clothing, shoes, coats, furniture, supplies, and gear. All items are available at no charge for families currently serving the vulnerable children in North Alabama. Despite being based in Madison County, the North Alabama Foster Closet has found families across North and Central Alabama, as well as Southern Tennessee, in need of items necessary for the care of the children placed in their care. Once a request is submitted, the volunteer staff at the closet are generally able to fulfill the request within 1 day. On average, each of our 24 regular volunteers will fulfill 15 requests per month. From April 2020 through January 2021, NAFC fulfilled a total of 862 requests. Of these requests, 38% were for a new placement within an adoptive, foster, or kinship setting. Within those requests were listed a total of 4,148 specific items.$8,197$8,197
Christmas Shoppe - Each year we provide brand new toys for children. We do our best to help children who have not been served by DHR, churches or other organizations in the area. This year we were able to provide gifts for more than 80 children across all age groups.$3,500$3,500
