Current Supply Needs

Foster the Need is always seeking additional new items to replenish and stock our boutique. You can help our boutique grow by donating NEW items to our current space at Maple Grove Community Church: 3113 W. Boulevard, St. Kokomo, IN 46902

Donation Drop Off Hours:

Please call the office to arrange a drop-off time, as the hours of service vary. Thank you for considering donating to foster families in your community!

At Foster the Need, we accept NEW items only because we firmly believe that all children need to know that they deserve dignity, comfort, and love. It is our vision that these children will have a memorable shopping experience which caters to each child’s individual style preferences. We want to encourage every child to feel confident and cared for. We never want them to feel second best!
