Clothes closet
I started a clothing closet in our county where all the foster parents pooled our clothes, car seats, beds, etc. We raised money and got a building donated luckily.
Now we have Kara's Kloset.
It is an emergency type place where foster parents come and get whatever they need free of charge.
Whether it be school uniforms or supplies, baby beds, toiletries, etc.
We are going on our 4th year with no signs of letting up.
Also as a seasoned foster parent, I suggest getting a spiral notebook and document everything.
I keep a big binder for my children with protective pages and dividers in it for each child. There are drs visits, parental visits, medications, behavior charts, etc.
In the spiral notebook, I keep a record of calls to s/w, court outcomes and things like that.
