The Collective Closet

The Fostering Collective is a faith-based community bringing hope to children in foster care by providing support, resources, and encouragement to foster and adoptive families.

What Is a Closet?

We help you find your path, show you the way, and equip you with the resources you’ll need to make a difference.

When you hear that a child is going to be placed in your home within a couple of hours you need to be ready. That’s why we are creating a closet that will have the essential items you need for whatever age or gender of the child.

The Collective Closet is a community closet located in Tyler, filled with new and gently used items provided by churches and individuals to help foster, adoptive, and kinship families in a tangible way. It is often a “first touch” with a family that can lead to a relationship and connection. It takes a village to run our closet. Let us know if you would like to Volunteer or donate items please email info@thefosteringcollective.org.
