Fostering Change Foster Closet is a nonprofit program created to provide needed clothing, personal care supplies and food to children who are removed quickly from their homes and entered into foster care.
Based in Pasco County, the organization offers to help any child who has gone into foster care and was unable to bring even the most basic of personal care needs from their home.
During the month of March, all five Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office locations will be accepting donations on behalf of the nonprofit, according to a news release.
“Fostering Change Foster Closet is proud to be the first, and only at the time of this release, 24/7 children’s foster closet,” said founder George Agovino.
“We want to minimize the time it takes for a foster child to be placed with a loving foster family. However, if that family doesn’t have all the items needed to care for that child, like a crib or other such items, that child can’t be placed with a family until they have all these items. Child Protective Services has 24-hour access to our facility, and we are also available just about any time to meet with foster families,” Agovino said, in the release.
