About the Basement Boutique
The Basement Boutique was established in March 2010. It provides quality clothing and household items free of charge to our clients. The Basement Boutique was created with the heart of giving our clients dignity when accessing items of need. Just because someone is getting something for free does not mean it should be garbage- we pride ourselves in putting out quality items in the store. We utilize our “red carts” to put overflow and in-season items out for the public to have access to for free and without coming into the office to fill out paperwork.
To provide on-site babysitting so our moms can attend classes. Monday thru Friday, 9am to Noon.
