The Industrial Development Authority of Stoddard County donated $1,000 to Ezekiel's Closet in Dexter, Missouri from their Special Allocation Fund.
Ezekiel's Closet is a charitable organization empowered to improve the lives of foster families and their foster children. "The sad reality is most kids are taken from their homes with only a trash bag," stated founder Carrie Mosbey. "We are changing that. We believe every kid deserves access to basic necessities such as toiletries, clothing and a toy (or maybe two!)"

Taken from their website: Ezekiel’s Closet serves foster and kinship families in Stoddard, Dunklin, Butler, Scott, and all surrounding counties. We offer 24/7 access to essential items to Missouri licensed foster parents, Missouri DSS caseworkers, CASA volunteers, School Resource Officers, and kinship providers. We are so blessed to be able to serve and will do our best to provide the items you need to support your kids. Everything we have is donated by our community and given to families caring for foster kids for free. Our prayer is that your family will feel seen , supported, and valued by our community.
