Community Build Day: Shelving & Organizing Our Foster Closet!

Join us as we roll up our sleeves to build vital shelving and get our space organized so we can serve even more children in foster care!

SMILE Foster Closet is growing, and that means we need more functional storage to keep the items organized for the children and families we serve. We're calling on our amazing community to lend a helping hand!
