“We’re so thankful for this partnership and the outpouring of generosity from our community. The Paper Doll Project was such a beautiful way to raise awareness and rally support, and every donation is a reminder to these children and families that they are seen, supported, and not alone,” said Peyton Moore, Store Manager, Kami’s Kids – A Fostering Hope Closet.
Kami’s Kids – A Fostering Hope Closet located in Claremore. It serves as a free store for foster families, providing them with clothing, shoes, and other essential items. The organization was founded by Tonya Goss with the goal of supporting foster children and their caregivers. Kami, after whom the organization is named, remains an inspiring figure, and her legacy lives on through this valuable resource for foster families. They accept donations of gently used clothes, toys, diapers (all sizes), and baby wipes. If you have items to donate, you can schedule drop-offs by texting Peyton at 918-720-4551. Additionally, they occasionally seek specific items like bunk beds or pack and plays.
