  • Clothing Assistance and Diaper Pantry

    Clothing Assistance: WGB operates a free clothing boutique which provides a dignified shopping experience free of charge to address clothing insecurity and open doors of opportunities to employment and education. Boutique shoppers are referred by a diverse partner network of social service, nonprofit, government, and faith-based agencies. Many partners use WGB as a connecting resource to incentivize participation in self-sufficiency programs, and financial literacy training. In 2023, 4,206 women and 7,925 children were served.Clothing Redistribution: As the largest provider of free clothing in the region, WGB values being good stewards of all goods donated and works with vetted organizations who support people in need where they are. In 2023, WGB distributed $1,216,395 worth of clothing and other essential goods to an estimated 8,109 individuals through our distribution partner network. Diaper Pantry: Stemming from the pandemic, the Diaper Pantry offers low-income families struggling with free diapers and baby wipes to help keep their child clean and healthy while reducing parental stress. In 2023, we distributed 596,102 diapers to 5,503 families and encompasses 6,458 infants. 80% of the diapers distributed were supplied at no cost by the Greater Washington DC Diaper Bank.
