Kaden’s Kloset receives donation of nearly $20,000

GRUNDY COUNTY – During a season of giving, one local organization was the recipient of a very generous gift.
Kaden’s Kloset, an organization that provides clothing and resources to foster and adoptive families locally, was recently chosen as the lucky recipient of a $19,000 donation from the philanthropic group “100+ Men and Women Who Care in the Cedar Valley.”
Kaden’s Kloset founder and Holland resident Kristle Davis said she was stunned when she found out that Kaden’s Kloset would receive the donation.
“There’s really not many times that I’m speechless, but this was one of them,” Davis said. “[After getting the news,] I sat on the phone really quiet for a while with tears just flowing down my face. I was shocked.”
Davis said that up until now, Kaden’s Kloset has run almost completely by the volunteers who staff the clothing closets, the community members who donate items, and a few monetary donations here and there.
With the generous donation from the “100+ Men and Women Who Care,” the opportunities to help people increase dramatically, Davis said.
“After we found out we got the donation, I was just trying to process the idea of ‘What does this mean for the organization, for us?’” Davis said. “It really opens your vision of what you can do in the community because, unfortunately, you can do a whole lot more with money than you can without it.”
