ReFresh/ReSource
Program Overview
ReFresh is a nonprofit resale store in the St. Louis, Missouri area that offers fashionable clothing for people of all (adult) sizes and ages. The store’s primary goal is to raise funds for children in foster care, ensuring they have access to all the essentials they need. ReFresh is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition.
The store’s inventory includes a vast selection of gently used designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at affordable prices. ReFresh offers an inclusive shopping experience for all customers, regardless of their body size, gender identity, or age. By shopping at ReFresh, customers can feel good about supporting a worthy cause while looking and feeling great in their new outfits!
Other than four store co-managers, ReFresh is completely powered by volunteers. Volunteers include individuals, students, families, religious and civic groups, and local businesses.
