Supporting Foster Families with Clothing, Food, Toys, and More
The most common struggle experienced by foster parents is lack of support during the difficult times of caring for kids who have experienced abuse and neglect. Missouri provides the 49th lowest stipend for foster parents in the US, while Kansas is the 43rd lowest. This insufficient support for foster families increases the barriers to take in children who need a safe, loving home.

Sammy’s Window clothing closet helps lift the tangible burden of caring for foster and adopted children so that more families can take on the care of children and provide free items. With the continued help of community donations, FosterAdopt Connect gives many of the items needed to help raise a child, which depending on location, may include:
- New or gently used, clean clothing
- New or gently used shoes
- New socks and underwear
- Hygiene products
- Formula
- Dry goods
- New or like new books
- New toys
- Baby equipment
- School supplies
