Mommy's Closet
Mommy's Closet is a free crisis resource provider that lends a helping hand to low-income families with children up to age the age of five. Because young families have particular needs yet sometimes have trouble meeting those needs for a variety of reasons, Mommy's Closet provides assistance by supplying necessities to help take care of babies and children.
A caseworker works with parents to do the following:
- Help them identify barriers to self sufficiency
- Assist them to create success plans
- Provide guidance to families as they stabilize their lives
Mommy's Closet provides a safe place for parents to come and problem solve issues surrounding parenting, housing, education, employment, and general finances. Reaching a goal of self sufficiency is supported through Volunteers of America working along with other agencies to facilitate the parent's growth.
