Our Team

A group of local foster moms saw a need, put together some dreams, got the families on board and started reaching out to the community. Thus begun Georgie's closet. We quickly realized our community absolutely wanted to help, they just needed a way to do so. We are happy to be a link to directly helping these awesome kids and families.
