Art and Artists for Cape Cod Foster Children
October 13 at 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Everyone is invited to join us in a toast to the Cape Cod Foster Closet, a most worthy organization. Live music by master jazz guitarist Fred Fried, wine and nibbles will add to the fun.
Children frequently enter foster care with no belongings, or with a trash bag containing nothing that even belongs to them.
The Cape Cod Foster Closet provides free, new and nearly-new clothing, shoes, outerwear, school supplies, baby gear, and more for local children (newborn to 18) who are being raised by someone other than their biological parent. From their storefront in Orleans, Foster Closet volunteers cover the Cape and Islands providing critically needed supplies, as well as community connection, information on other services, and a listening ear, for often uniquely isolated caregivers.
“It truly takes a village!” says Co-founder and Program Director Sharon Palmer. “We are very grateful to Helen Addison for helping to increase awareness of the numbers of children in care on the Cape and Islands and for hosting this event to help ensure that we can continue to support local foster and relative caregiver families.”
