Repeat Boutique's Mission
Repeat Boutique’s mission is to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by providing materials goods, free of charge to people in need.
Our Ministry
Repeat Boutique is a 501c3 ministry serving DuPage County since 1973; currently celebrating our 50th year. Our staff is 100% volunteer. We provide clothing, shoes, linens, games/toys, and household goods to people-of-need in our community and Christian workers. Our clients are required to present a referral from organizations like World Relief, DuPage Community Services, People’s Resource Center, churches, and schools. With referrals, clients shop free-of-charge once every 3 months for a year. Our inventory of goods are the items donated by the community.
