Shift Leads

Our Vision & Mission
At Boxes of Basics, we believe every child deserves to feel confident, cared for, and comfortable in their clothing. Our mission is to provide local children in need with personalized boxes of seasonally appropriate, stylish, and gently used (or new) clothing—packed with love by volunteers like you.

Join us in turning compassion into action—one box, one child, one smile at a time.

How We Bring Our Mission to Life
At Boxes of Basics, we turn compassion into action through hands-on, community-powered programs that directly serve local children in need. Our signature program provides custom-packed boxes filled with a week’s worth of seasonal, stylish, and size-appropriate clothing—each one thoughtfully assembled by volunteers.

We collect new and gently used clothing through donation drives, community partnerships, and individual supporters. Then, with the help of our amazing volunteers, we sort, organize, and pack these items into personalized boxes based on each child's specific needs.

Every box we create is more than just clothing—it’s a message of hope, dignity, and belonging.
