The Mama Bunch!! These moms of little people did a drive for the Kids Clothing Center in honor of Infant and Pregnancy Loss. Clothes, socks, underwear and baby formula - all are now on our racks and shelves to help needy kids in our community. Thank you, Brookside Mama Bunch!

Are you shopping on Amazon Prime Days? If so, grab some coats for Brookside's Kids Clothing Center. Our coat racks are looking at little...um...empty! And it's not even cold outside! Yikes! We want every kid that needs a coat to be able to get one.

When the weather dips - even just a little - families head to Brookside's Kids Clothing Center to get something warm. The Kids Clothing Center serves kids in the foster care system and needy kids in our area - and most of them don't need (won't wear!) coats until the bitter bitter cold. But hoodies are a THING! Grab a few while you're out shopping or click on our Amazon Wish List. Those hoodies will go straight on our racks - giving some needy kids a bit of dignity as they head to school. Amazon link:

Brookside's Clothing Center loves providing clothes for kids in the foster care system, bringing them dignity and lots of "cool factor" with the clothes we provide. Although we take new and gently used clothes, we only provide BRAND NEW socks and underwear...and we're always in need! Wanna help in honor of National Foster Care month ? Here's our Amazon Wish List - easy peesy!

These amazing 6th graders from Central Middle School did a sock drive for Brookside's Kids Clothing Center! Today, they dropped them off. Thank you for being kids who make an impact with other kids!

That's a wrap! Our first ever North Pole Event for the Millard Business Foundation! Brookside volunteers talked with under-resourced Millard families who came to this event to get Christmas presents for their kids, food, pictures and crafts. Along the way, they were introduced to Brookside's clothing Care Center where they can come and get warm clothes for their kids. This event served 345 families / 917 children. We had tears and smiles and a few hugs in appreciation for offering hope to families that are feeling overwhelmed. Thanks, Brookside, for helping us keep the store stocked with great clothes, socks and underwear.

What an honor! Brookside's Care Center was nominated by Boys Town Foster Family Services for the 2023 Distinguished Collaborator of the Year! "Brookside's Care Center has found a gap in our community and met this need with an amazing heartfelt space. We have reached out with very specific needs and they have never turned us away. The smile and concern they have shown families in need is honorable and deserves this award without hesitation." - Matt Priest, Director of Foster Family Services

We are virtually OUT OF CLOTHES! It's been our privilege to serve so many guests in the last few weeks! We are hitting record numbers again. But we are in desperate need of winter clothes, coats, socks and underwear! If you have anything new or gently used that could be on the backs of needy kids in our community, your donation would be greatly appreciated! ❤️ Or if it's easier to click and shop, here's the link to our Amazon wish list:
