The Virginia Women and Family Support Centers’ Mom’s Boutique provides essential support to mothers and their families, offering a wide array of items and services to meet their needs.
In an effort to create a welcoming environment for mothers, the Virginia Women’s and Family Support Center Mom’s Boutique in Gainesville is undergoing a transformation with the support of Keller Williams’ RED Day of Service on May 9. “With their support, the Mom’s Boutique will transform into a welcoming haven, allowing women to relax and feel at ease while shopping for essentials for themselves and their children,” spokeswoman Emily Ennochs said.
“We provide essentials such as diapers, wipes, gently used or new clothing items including onesies and pajamas, and a variety of hygiene products like baby soap, shampoo, lotion, and diaper rash cream,” explained Ennochs.

Beyond providing physical resources, the Mom’s Boutique is also focused on offering support programs tailored to the needs of women in the community. “We are excited to announce that we are working on developing community classes specifically designed for women in our community,” Ennochs said. “We will continue to offer other support and resources aimed at helping mothers thrive in our community.”
