Help Brighten a Child’s Day!
You can help bring holiday cheer to kids experiencing foster care in Minnesota by donating to our Kids Holiday Wishlist.

Kids who are a part of the foster care system often enter care with whatever can be carried. It is common for belongings to be tossed into trash bags for transport. Here at CH/LSS, we think children deserve better, so we created the Community Closet. Thank you for visiting our page!
