About Us
The WGB Store is filled with donated clothing, shoes, accessories, and other essentials for both women and children. Our clients are qualified by their case managers and social workers; most are typically living in shelters or part of a transitional program in and around the DMV area. Many clients leave their crises with only the clothing on their backs. We are here to help them restock basic necessities free of charge. Through generous donations we make sure these women and children have what they need to rebuild their lives and restore their dignity. Our volunteers provide personal service and uplifting interaction in a unique boutique-like atmosphere. Together, we are able to provide compassion and companionship in otherwise tough situations.
Featured Programs
In addition to our flagship boutique services, we have grown to include further supportive and seasonal programs to provide a more holistic and complete array of assistive resources for our clients.
Our Impact
We proudly watch as our clients persevere, thrive, increase their self-confidence and enable themselves to improve their lives and achieve independence.

This increased self-esteem leads to an obvious resilience, poise and pep in their steps. They have their own checklist of to-dos and our job is to get them every step closer:
- Secure a stable roof over their head
- Gain and maintain employment
- Become more financially sound to make ends meet; and then some
- Apply their experiences and opportunities toward learning tools for their children
We watch them move up and away from the hurdles that once held them back.

Volunteer
On store days we need volunteers to help clients shop for clothing, restock the racks, provide childcare, check out our shoppers and overall, manage needs much like a retail department store.
Become a personal shopper, coordinate a donation drive; on or off-site (clothing, accessories, shoes, snack packs, diapers and more!), facilitate corporate and community outreach and/or become a sort leader.
We welcome individuals, groups, families, schools/universities, businesses of any size, religious organizations, clubs and more. Children are welcome to volunteer if at least 12 and accompanied by an adult, 16 unaccompanied.
