The Village Shoppe is a dedicated space where our staff from across the state can access necessary items for emergent and ongoing needs. It is also a place where our clients can “shop” for what they prefer and need most. This resource space creates the opportunity for foster parents to say “yes” to caring for more children in their home; provides support to a grandmother who is raising her three grandchildren; and presents a moment of dignity and joy to older youth who can personally select items that reflect who they are.
Donations of the following NEW items are welcomed:
- Diapers, wipes, formula (Gerber Good Start preferred) & other baby essentials
