SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — Foster families often have their hands full, but one Siouxland store is stepping up to help, making sure they can get clothes and toys at no cost.
Rhea Lana’s of Siouxland’s upscale resale event kicked off on Thursday at the Sioux City Convention Center.
On the last day of the sale, all remaining merchandise is given away to foster families.
Officials said foster families just need documentation, and they get their own free shopping spree.
“So we’ll be donating things to all local foster families that want to come. They just bring their placement papers, and they can shop for free. The kids can come too and shop for things that they would like,” said owner Katy Gordon.
Gordon said staff members look forward to Foster Family Day all week.
“It’s extremely rewarding to end the whole week’s event with a charity event. It just invigorates us, reminds us why we do this. Our motto is ‘we are moms helping moms, and families helping families’. And so it’s a great culmination to the event,” Gordon said.
Foster Family Day is next Wednesday, October 22, and for more information, visit Rhea Lana’s of Siouxland’s Facebook page.
