Alicia's Closet

Alicia’s Closet is a nonprofit organization serving the foster care community in Central Ohio (Columbus/Franklin County and surrounding areas) and Northwest Ohio (Fremont/Sandusky County and surrounding areas). Our free stores provide infant to young adult sized clothing, shoes, coats, diapers & wipes, baby accessories and other essentials, at no cost to families.

Our Columbus location also offers additional programming such as such as support groups, respite/parents’ day out events, monthly meetup events, seasonal programming and an outreach/mentoring program for former foster youth.

We are happy to serve foster, kinship & reunified families (those who have been reunited after children have been in foster care), as well as former foster youth. We are proponents of family preservation, and family restoration, whenever possible. We believe that building relationships and supporting the entire family are integral to the heart of foster care. We also believe that love is a verb – Alicia’s Closet exists to support the foster care community through action, both children and their families & caregivers.

By supplying much needed items and supports to those who have been impacted by foster care, we hope to help create a sense of comfort, normalcy and dignity. In the process, we also hope to create genuine connections and provide an ongoing community of support for families/caregivers.
