Our Team

Our amazing team of  part-time volunteers are committed to helping others. Our board is composed of Former foster parents, former foster youth and community members.  

Seeing a need for local nonprofit to service foster families, we created a foster closet in 2014. In the beginning we were a branch of a statewide organization.  We've consistently grown since then and received our 501c3 status in 2018.  Named after our founder, Holly Hansen-Watson's grandmothers ASH Encompassment is the 501c3.  There are now two branches, Clare and Isabella counties.  

 Our closet works with donors to provide new clothing, toys, shoes, baby equipment, beds, bedding, furniture, gear and more to children placed in the foster care system in Isabella County,  Michigan.  After initial placement we support foster families by hosting events where children can get belongings, have fun, and connect with others.
