IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

For the last 6 years, My Foster Kids Foundation, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization, has been providing foster children no-cost clothing through our thrift store, Fosters reStore, along with other social programs for the local community.

During this time, we have met some amazing people. All doing fantastic things for their communities near and far. And we hope to continue to watch and support them in all they do.

Unfortunately, due to a combination of economic factors and lack of funding and sales, we do not have the resources to continue our mission. Therefore, it is with great sorrow that we are announcing the permanent closing of Fosters reStore effective July 31, 2023.

Fosters has served thousands of foster families over the years and hopefully has made an impact on the lives of foster children throughout southeast Wisconsin and beyond.

We wish there was another alternative, but without funding from an outside source, we just cannot continue.

Our lease at our current location is set to expire on July 31st of this year. That will be the target date for closing our doors.

We will be running a liquidation sale at our store on Lathrop Avenue starting immediately, Wed. May 24th, where we will be selling everything in the building, including all retail fixtures, inventory and store supplies.

If you are a 501c3 nonprofit and are interested in some of the items that may be leftover at the end of the sale, please contact us via email or through social media.

We will still be taking donations for a while and will post when this will cease. All leftover non-sold merchandise will go to other nonprofits in the area.

Foster parents will be able to continue to receive no-cost clothing for children in their care until we close.

We are saddened by this news, but again, find no other viable alternative. We thank each and every one of you for your support in our mission to help foster children.

Thank you to all, and we’ll see you on the next venture.
