Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Reiher. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Six years ago, Kimberly Hardy and Tiffany Reiher were in the MOMS Club of Jackson County. They were discussing the needs of foster children because Kimberly had been a foster parent to seven children. They realized there was nowhere for these children to get basic needs quickly. They started looking for a location and once they found one, they started reaching out to the community for donations. Clothes started coming in and they realized the community knew this was such a needed resource. Not long after they opened in August 2017, they were contacted by local schools asking for help for their students. Today they work with all the local schools, the domestic violence shelter, homeless shelters, foster families and other families in need. They are run completely volunteer run and community supported. They collect gently used clothing and shoes and make sure everyone receives the help they need.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We live in a wonderful community and people are always so happy to help. We can help so many people of the people around us.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Fostering Hope Clothes Closet is known for providing clothes and shoes to children in need. We work with local schools, DFCS, Foster Families, Domestic Violence Shelters and families in need.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Something surprising might be that I am a neat freak. I love organization and I believe everything has a home. That is why the closet is so organized. I panic when things are out of place.
