We are so thankful for the sweet handmade pillows that 14 yr old Eliza has been making for our foster children❣️Each pillow comes with an heartfelt encouraging word. Since she was 6 years old, Eliza has been hand-sewing her Encouraging Pillows, with a mission to inspire hope into the lives of children in foster care. Eliza has a 1:1 mission, For every pillow purchased, she donates a pillow to a child in foster care! 🫶

Thank you to every volunteer, to each person who purchased a gift, to every place that displayed a giving tree, and to every single donor. We are beyond thankful and we could not have pulled this off without your help! Thanks to your contributions, over 1,100 children experienced a joyous holiday season.

Release Care Closet 2025

As we close out 2025, I am overwhelmed with gratitude on behalf of the Release Care Closet toward the Omaha community for their generosity. We started six years ago in an effort to assist foster parents, but God soon made it evident that we were to help whoever He brought to our door, so we do, and He continues to provide.

Our numbers have grown dramatically, but the people are what stick to my heart.

There is so much hurt and need. There is so much kindness, love, and hope.
Foster parents are the most amazing people on earth.
You do not have to travel across the world to help; you can make a difference where you are.

We gained some amazing volunteers this year who come in faithfully every week, and we would not have expanded without them; it just wouldn't have happened.

This is what we can do by just showing up:
In 2025, we were able to assist children 2,340 times. We were able to facilitate/provide Christmas gifts to 1,100 children.

I want to send a heartfelt thank you to every single person who donated. This is what makes it possible; literally, nothing happens without you. I'm the lucky one who gets to see every day the difference it makes.

God bless you all.

We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the many foster families for their selfless dedication during the holidays. 🫶You are providing stability, love, and creating lasting memories for children who need it most. You are helping turn potential loneliness into joy through simple acts of kindness, gift-giving, and creating new traditions, positively impacting young lives.
