S.S. Boutique

A lot of times people see an organization and assume the work just somehow gets done.

But there is no “organization” sorting baby clothes.

It’s Jean sorting baby clothes and dealing with communications.

It’s Mary Kay sizing them.

It’s Denise and Jessica putting away jeans and dresses.

It’s Gretchen and Danielle filling orders.

It’s Kim being my backup when I need one.

It’s Teri doing orders and hauling garbage home because somebody has to.

It’s our friend who hauls away recycling for us.

It’s volunteers who stop in when they have a few spare hours.

It’s donors who find a way to drop things off during our limited hours.

It’s people who answer messages, carry boxes, sort shoes, hang coats, fold shirts, sweep floors, and do a hundred other little jobs nobody ever sees.

That’s what gets the work done.

Not an organization.

People.

A lot of people giving a little bit of time, effort, energy, and compassion.

By themselves, those contributions might seem small.

Together, they’ve helped clothe thousands of people.

That’s not an organization.

That’s a community.

For any of our friends who might have known Travis, there is going to be a memorial service at Centenary Church on May 20 at 10:15. It’s little opportunity to honor who he was and what he meant to us.

Would anyone like to have this desk? The dimensions are 4’x18”x29”. You would need to come pick it up. First available to pick it up can take it. We can’t deliver sorry.

This is the number we pulled. Does yours match?

This weekend is your last chance to drop off and grab a ticket — whether it’s regular clothing, vintage, or both.

All you have to do is hang onto that ticket, and at the end of the month, if it matches ours… that drop-off is going to feel very worth your time 😉

In my 10 years running SS.Boutique, I’ve met a lot of people.
Some pass through. Some stay. And sometimes, someone finds a place not just in the space—but in your heart.

Travis showed up.

He answered the door. He hauled bags. He made sure people were seen when they walked in.

But more than that, he sat, rested, and stayed warm—and in doing that, he helped make this place feel like it had a reason to have the doors open.

He was proud to be part of this. We were proud to have him.

We’re going to carry that with us.

If you’re ever carrying something too big to hold alone—grab a friend. Call a hotline. Talk to a doctor.

Stick around.

“I brought clothes to Ss Boutique and all I got was this lousy ticket…”

…except if you hang onto it and it matches ours at the end of the month, it might end up being the best drop-off you’ve ever made.

And that’s just for bringing in clothing you were probably going to bring anyway.

But let’s make it more interesting.

A lot of people ask me:
“What about those old t-shirts sitting in a dresser that haven’t seen daylight since 1990?”
Or
“What do I do with these beat-up jeans and random vintage stuff?”

This is your moment.

Bring those along, bag them separately, and we’ll hand you a second ticket for that pile.

Now you might be thinking…
“you do NOT want something that smells like it’s been living in an attic for 20 years…”

That’s where you’re wrong 😄

Because if yours turns out to be the oldest piece we see all month, there’s a little extra surprise waiting for you.

This whole thing came together with our reseller friend Josh — we’ll go through the vintage pieces together, keep what works here, he’ll take what fits his lane, and anything left still gets a purpose (think theater, costumes, reuse streams).

Nothing goes to waste. Nothing heads to the landfill.

Everything else, as always, goes right back out to people who need it.

So yeah…
you might walk in with a bag of clothes and walk out with a “lousy ticket”…

…but I wouldn’t throw it away 😉

Drop-offs can be made Thursday through Saturday from 10–12 and Sunday from 12–2 at 110 N. 5th St. (Door F7, corner of 5th & Mulberry).
