LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) Innovation Church in Lafayette is launching the city s first Foster Closet. The donation service was created to meet the needs of foster families here locally.
It s specifically designed to help bridge the gaps that potential foster families can face. The closet creators, Pastors Billy and Mandy Holden say this started from their own personal experience with fostering.
The couple decided to become foster parents about three years ago. That s when they realized furnishing a bedroom, gathering clothes, and getting other child items is quite costly and overwhelming.
