Kaden's Kloset helps equip local foster and adoptive families

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:40am

GRUNDY COUNTY – Growing up as a foster child herself, Kristle Davis knows firsthand the need that not only foster children, but foster families, have for resources and support, particularly clothing – and this is what led her to start Kaden’s Kloset.
“Foster kids pretty much come with nothing, and that burden falls on the foster family or the adoptive family to bridge that gap and fill those needs,” Davis said. “I myself was adopted out of foster care as a teenager, and going into my adoptive parents’ home, I had two black garbage bags and that was all of my belongings.”
