The Twig’s mission is to encourage and inspire the lives of children in foster care by meeting their needs in practical ways. The Boutique is only open to children in foster care, where they can shop with dignity, for clothing, shoes, and other necessities free of charge. The Twig currently serves around 400 children every month. These children come into their foster homes often with only the clothes on their backs. By allowing them to have a shopping experience in the fun, bright children’s boutique, they are able to get much-needed clothing items but also be provided with love and support. The Twig is much more than clothes, though. It is a place where children in foster care feel welcomed and valued. The Twig relies on the community to provide funding and donations to make this all happen for the kids we serve.
