Seasonal Programs & Events (Columbus branch only)

Our "Back to School Bash" takes place each August and is co-hosted by two of our partner organizations, Fostering Love and Stitched Together. This event is open to local foster, kinship & reunified families and includes food, face painting, inflatables, character visits and more! Each child (Kindergarten and up) also receives a backpack full of school supplies and gift card.

Each holiday season, we want to ensure that every child has a gift under the tree. Our annual Help for the Holidays program welcomes kinship families/relative caregivers, reunified families and former foster youth to submit a "wishlist" for holiday gifts. These gifts will then be purchased, wrapped and distributed! 

(*Note: Alicia’s Closet loves supporting foster parents, but we know that children’s services and foster care agencies offer gift assistance programs of their own. For that reason, this program is only for biological families who have reunified, former foster youth, and kinship families.)

Every parent deserves time that's just for them. Our respite/"parents day out" events provide a safe space for children of all ages to play and participate in fun activities while their parents/caregivers enjoy a well-deserved break. All foster, adoptive, kinship and reunified families are eligible. Location varies each month and children are supervised by trained, experienced volunteers and the Alicia's Closet team.
