For those who can't make it to an appointment, Canada packs clothing based on sizes and individual needs."I wanted to go back to her foundation, which was foster care, and provide back to that community," Canada said.For Tamaryo Shepherd, a single mother of four, the nonprofit came at the right time as she prepared her children for the new school year."Finances can be really tight, especially being a single mom and having four kids that you have to provide for," Shepherd said. "Emonie's Closet has really came in and been a big blessing."Canada says the nonprofit is about more than providing clothes."It means the world to me," she said.
