Families Ordering Online
If you’re unable to visit the Village Store in person—whether due to emergency placement or other circumstances—you can conveniently place your order using the Village Clothing Order Form, even after hours.
While we accept orders from families statewide, our store is located in Blackfoot, Idaho. Most orders will need to be picked up in Blackfoot. In some cases, we may be able to arrange a pickup at other locations depending on availability. Families will need to coordinate with us directly if a pickup is needed.

How You Can Help The Village
The Village accepts new and nearly new items. We ask that clothing be clean and free of stains or damage. We accept clothing (socks and underwear must be new), shoes, toys, books, baby items, weighted blankets, bicycles, beds (cribs and car seats must be new), gift cards, cash donations, etc.
The Village is operated by the Idaho Foster & Adoptive Parent Association. We are run 100% by volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, you can contact us or just walk in during business hours. We also love to have groups or businesses come in and volunteer their time. Contact us through Facebook or text 208-569-6298.
