Wyoming Kids Closet reopens, supports Albany County foster families
Wyoming Kids Closet reopened in Laramie, giving Albany County foster families free donated clothing for children from birth through age 18.
Wyoming Kids Closet was back open in Laramie, giving Albany County foster families a local place to get free donated clothing before school shopping season pushes budgets even tighter. Laramie Interfaith announced, “The Wyoming Kids Closet is Open!” after the program returned from a temporary pause.
Foster placements can happen suddenly, leaving caregivers to replace clothing and other basics without much warning. The program’s hours were set for Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the closet was back in service after a temporary pause. A note shared with the reopening asked people to be patient as the program grows and works to sustainably support those in need.
The service serves children from newborns to teens. Foster care is a temporary service meant to ensure the safety and well-being of children and youth in out-of-home care, and foster homes are needed for all ages, especially teens and sibling groups. Albany County DFS is located at 3817 Beech St., Suite 200 in Laramie.
Albany County Public Library lists SE Wyoming Foster Closets as a local resource, while Brian Welper called the Laramie Foster Closet and Wyoming Kids Closet an extension of the Laramie Connections Center. The Laramie Plains Civic Center congratulated the closet on its grand opening and thanked donors and project sponsor UniWyo Federal Credit Union.
The closetlaramiefoster Instagram account calls the effort a cargo container built into a closet that gives donations free to foster families and kids in care.
