ALCares4Kids

ALCares4Kids was renamed in 2022 from the original program of Kinship Foster Care to allow us to expand help to homeless children. It started in 2017 as a partnership with The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital CHECK Foster Care Center. The CHECK program provides screening, physical evaluations and clinical care for children living in foster and kinship care in Hamilton County.  Since then, Jack’s Closet in Anderson, Ohio, Monkey Beans in Sardinia, Ohio. The Vinedresser in Florence, Ky. and Tabitha’s Closet in Morrow, Ohio who provide recycled clothing to foster and kinship care families have been added as partners of ALGC. Tabitha’s Closet also provides clothing to homeless children.  We provide packages of new undergarments, socks, diapers, baby wipes and hygiene items monthly to each partner, depending on their need. ALGC provided 11,340 packages of clothing to 4,390 children last year, an increase of 100% over the prior year. Since its inception 9,621 children have benefited from these distributions.
