A Luke's Closet volunteer will call or text you with delivery details.

ABOUT US

Luke’s Closet serves foster, adoptive and kinship care children from birth through age 18 years and is a not-for-profit, all volunteer ministry operating through St. Luke’s Lutheran Church 501(c)(3) status.

Luke’s Closet allows guardians to focus on helping kiddos heal from trauma, not the stress of providing for them. Foster and kinship (e.g., Grandma) families are an often-forgotten population frequently operating on the financial margins while caring for children who may have arrived at their new home with just the clothes on their backs after leaving a traumatic situation. We are Dane County's only clothing closet for foster, adoptive and kinship kiddos.

Receive the Luke's Closet quarterly e-newsletter including:

  • stories about how clothing donation helped foster/kinship kiddos

  • current needed items

  • testimonials from families and social workers

  • upcoming events

  • volunteer opportunities
