The U.P. Foster Closet of Menominee is dedicated and united in their mission to provide assistance to children placed in local foster care or into the care of someone other than their biological parents.
Funded Program
Project Sweet Bottoms
Funding from this grant, will be used to purchase diapers and wipes of various sizes (Preemie-Pullups, and sometimes adult diapers for special need kiddos) to help meet the ongoing needs of foster families and caregivers throughout the Tri-County Area.
Community Impact
Target Population: Tri-County families who are caring for children that are not their biological children.
Number of Individuals Served: 145
Desired outcomes include making sure that all families who use UP Foster Closet services (that are caring for children that are not their biological) have consistent access to diapers of all sizes, and wipes free of charge, The program also aims to prevent situations where the kiddo’s go without clean diapers due to a shortage and/or financial barriers on the caregivers behalf (stipend delay, low income, unexpected care etc.). This assistance helps reduce the immediate financial burden that foster parents and caretakers may experience during an unexpected placement, emergency placement, or ongoing long term/short term care.
