Fashion is a force and it can be a force for good. Many people are particularly interested in dressing nice and wearing trendy clothes that make them look beautiful. But what we don't know is that tons of clothes are thrown away each year, and every second, there is a truckload of clothes that is either burnt or buried in a landfill.
Clothes are basic needs that many persons can't afford, and some don't even have the means to get excellent and quality clothes.
Virtuous Woman Boutique is a program that strives to serve as a channel where individuals can donate quality new clothing to children in foster care homes. The program provides child-focused clothing services for foster children, foster families, kinship caregivers, and adoptive families.
Our mission with this program is to provide a welcoming, comforting and relaxed platform where well-meaning persons can purchase clothes to support children in foster care homes. And to make the environment conducive for foster kids and families to find suitable clothes that will make them look beautiful and dazzle in their new and quality clothing.
With this program, your purchase from our boutique will provide an avenue for foster kids and caregivers to visit us and get new clothes for church, school, special events, and daily use. We also offer clothes in case of emergency. Through your purchases, donations and support, we will ensure that foster kids constantly have access to good and quality clothing.
