Help us provide families with basic necessities
It is an overwhelming challenge for many parents and caregivers to meet the basic needs of their families. That’s why we created Children’s Center Boutique and Food Pantry and at The Children’s Center.
Children’s Center Boutique is a short-term, crisis resource where children and families can shop free-of-charge for clothing, hygiene supplies, food and various household items. Our shelves are stocked solely by the generous support of people in our community, like you.
During the holidays, we transform the boutique into a festive holiday atmosphere, providing a wide array of new, donated items. Every child receives a new toy, stocking stuffer, hat, gloves, socks and underwear. Every family receives a blanket and a $25 grocery gift card for a delicious holiday meal.

Donate to Children’s Center Boutique and Food Pantry
It is difficult for our children and families to focus on their mental health therapy when they are struggling with basic needs. Your donations directly serve these families so they can concentrate on healing, growing, and thriving.
To donate, contact Alyssa Silletti at 313-573-6596 or asilletti@thechildrenscenter.com.
