Our mission is to serve the displaced children of Arizona. We work with foster, adoptive, and kinship families to provide the items needed to make life easier for families welcoming children who weren't originally theirs.
We ask that if a child leaves your home, as foster and kinship children frequently do, that you send all the items provided by Jose's Closet along with that child. Our goal is to support the children who need our help, no matter where they are.
**Pandemic Adjustments
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jose's Closet is offering contactless service to our members. All items are pre-selected based on member requests. We are not requesting volunteer time from our members.
Once you have submitted your application, Jose's Closet will contact you with any questions and provide the link for the donation to upgrade to the Family Membership. Please look for an email from info@josescloset.org for details.
