Items that have been donated are put into the Sammy's Window "Free Market" and available to families at NO COST. Items that have been consigned will be available at NO COST to foster families after a period of 90 days as determined by the consignment contract unless they are picked up by the consignor.

IS THERE A LIMIT ON FREE ITEMS?

We have adopted the same policies as the other FosterAdopt Connect Sammy's Window locations. There is a limit of 10 clothing items per visit per child. There is no limit on how many times a family can visit per month. Diapers and wipes are limited to one per child per month. Depending on availability.

HOW IS THE MONEY MADE FROM CONSIGNMENT USED?

All money made from the Children's Resale Store goes back into the program so we can employ former foster youth while giving them an opportunity to earn income, gain valuable work experience and soft skills.
