At Emonie’s Closet, we believe in the transformative power
of preparation—one outfit, one skill, one person at a time.

Founded in 2019, after an untimely passing of my
daughter, the commitment to honor her legacy through her journey of foster care
created the template to start a nonprofit that services youth in foster care, those
aged out of the services and/or families experiencing transient financial
challenges within approximately 10 counties located in the State of
Georgia.

At Emonie’s Closet, we are not
just addressing an immediate need; we are fostering a culture of empowerment.
The impact of our program is not just in the clothes we provide but, in the
confidence, skills, and independence we inspire

Emonie’s Closet is more than a charitable program; it's a haven where individuals find not just clothes but the threads of their future.

Our mission is to nurture the potential of youth in foster care, those aging out of the system, and families experiencing transient financial challenges. By providing free clothing and informational
about essential vocational and business skills, we aim to instill dignity,
self-worth, and independence.

Our program, Emonie’s Closet of Champions, is not just about free clothes and information; it's about creating a pathway toward
self-sufficiency, ensuring that every individual, no matter their circumstance, can confidently step into a brighter future.

Every outfit and skill we provide is a like a stitch towards preparing for a positive future.

There are approximately 11k youth in foster care in the State of Georgia.

Within a 50-mile radius of Atlanta, Georgia, an estimated amount of 2056 of which are 18 and younger was part of the Department Foster Care Services that found themselves at a critical juncture where support was paramount.

Approximately 134 will have run away, be incarcerated, homeless or die.
