KidStore Minimize
 

Children often come into foster care with only the clothing on their backs.  To help, we manage a small resale shop open exclusively to children in foster care.  The KidStore provides high-quality clothing at “garage sale” prices; most items cost between $ .50 and $1.00.

The KidStore is open exclusively to Missouri and Illinois foster/adoptive parents, relative caregivers, caseworkers, and GALs/CASAs.  We ask that new shoppers bring proof of your foster/adoptive parent status on their first visit, only.  Examples of acceptable forms of identification include:  foster parent identification card, copy of foster parent certificate/license, or a CD or DFS check stub.  In addition, please bring documentation that you have physical custody of the child(ren) or court order.  Your information will be kept safely on file for future visits.

  • Sort clothing donations and put them onto racks in the store;
  • Organize clothing drives
