The Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership New River Valley class is launching a foster care closet drive July 14- 18 to support children entering the foster care system in emergency situations.
“These children often arrive in care with little to no personal belongings, and this drive aims to provide them with essential clothing items that offer comfort, dignity, and a sense of stability during a difficult transition,” MCCC announced. “In partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Social Services, this initiative reflects a deep commitment to community support and child welfare. Together we can make this drive a success and ensure that every child stepping into foster care feels seen, valued, and cared for from the very beginning.”
