Families Caring Enough to Provide the
Basics & Beyond that all Children Deserve

Sadly, most children who come into foster care arrive with only the clothes they are wearing.  Froggy's Closet was the vision of a couple of foster moms who wanted to provide everything a child needs upon arrival into foster care.  As more parents became involved, and the community stepped up with support, donations of new and like new items and countless volunteer hours, the vision of providing "the basics and beyond that every child deserves" became a reality.

​

Essential items are also provided to children who are at-risk or in need by a referral from the Department of Social Services, The Laurel Center, Fremont Street Nursery, The Winchester Day School, Head Start Program and other school guidance counselors, nurses and pediatric offices.  For a list of referral agencies, please contact us.

​

Our hours for accepting donations are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00am - 5:00pm at our offices located at 200 N. Braddock Street, Winchester, VA. 22601.
