Teen & Kid Closet
Each summer we are blessed to get to know and appreciate a nonprofit in the Inland northwest. In 2018 we are focusing on Teen & Kid Closet (TKC). Robyn Nance from KXLY 4 News helped found TKC in 2007, beginning with a simple idea to provide good, quality, fashionable clothing to foster kids in need, for free. It’s a simple idea that leaves a big impact—DIGNITY.
TKC is now located at 307 E Sprague, Spokane WA 99202, serving children in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Community volunteers lovingly stock and fashionably arrange the boutique-style shop where foster children can experience shopping for their own clothes.
Most of the youth they serve have no other access to nice clothes, many times carrying only a few possessions around with them as they move from home to home. When foster kids are given a choice of quality, fashionable clothes, they are given a chance to fit in and feel cared for.
