Dignity... We were designed with it. We need it. It's part of our identity. It's displayed in our actions and in our appearance. What a person wears matters... How a person presents them self matters. How a person shops... matters.
Imagine not having access to nice clothes, clean clothes, or clothes that can keep you warm and comfortable...
Imagine wanting to break free from homelessness or extreme poverty and walking into a job interview without the proper attire to put your best self forward. Imagine only having access to the bottom of the barrel... the scraps discarded by society.
Our most vulnerable residents in Atlanta, especially our homeless, are struggling to recover their compromised dignity because of their lack of access to quality clothing. They need access to clean quality clothing to restore dignity and open up opportunities.
The privileged and wealthy have had their dignity compromised through the rampant consumerism of society that easily disregards those struggling in the margins. Humans weren't designed to aimlessly consume for selfish gain without caring for those in our community struggling to make it another day.
What if there was a place you could shop with purpose and find quality and stylish products for free and pay what you could, knowing your purchase helps change someone else's future?
What if there was a place your business could donate overstocked items, or unsellable like-new returns, with full confidence that their products help restore dignity and change futures?
The Community Boutique is connecting those two worlds and restoring dignity for everyone by providing a place the homeless and the millionaire can shop alongside each other with purpose.
