What We Do

• Chosen is a Christian nonprofit that supports foster and adoptive families. Its largest program is the Family Closet, with two locations in the Milwaukee area. Foster and adoptive families can shop for supplies for children in their care – all free of charge. The organization has given away 50,000 items to over 600 families, supporting over 1,250 children in southeastern Wisconsin.
• Chosen hosts annual Family Outreach events to promote community for foster/adoptive families.  Partnerships with other nonprofits and businesses further support families.  In 2023, business partners provided a new roof, at no charge, for a Chosen foster/adoptive family.
• Chosen’s annual Open Hearts, Open Homes Gala celebrates and supports foster and adoptive families. “The gala also raises awareness that we need many more families to help kids in need in Wisconsin,” says Karen Schlindwein, Chosen’s VP of education and development. “This gala helps us strengthen our programming to reach more families.” The upcoming gala is on Feb. 24 at Davians (N56 W16300 Silver Spring Dr., Menomonee Falls). Tickets are available at choseninlove.org/gala.
