Foster Closet sorts donations as it searches for new volunteers

ALPENA, Mich.– The Foster Closet of Northern Michigan got together for a cleanup Saturday.

Manager Lorilee Vanderveer said the Closet received a lot of donations in recent months. On Saturday, the workers at the non-profit sorted through it all. Vanderveer also said the group used to get regular help from volunteers, but COVID-19 limited the volunteer pool.

The Foster Closet provides clothes, toys, and diapers to foster parents as far away as Cheboygan.
