It's simple We provide clothing and confidence to children who need it most.
About us
Our mission is to empower kids with seasonal wardrobes packed with love and compassion. We work with school counselors, social workers, faith leaders and human services agencies to provide children with stylish, quality new and gently used clothing that will give kids confidence and help them thrive. Every Boxes of Basics contains everything a child needs for the season including school outfits, play clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, pj's a winter coat, a book, dental kit and more. Our amazing volunteers hand select and pack every Box of Basics and tailor it for each individual child. When a child receives their Box of Basics we want them to feel like they are opening a gift!
