The thread that binds all our programs is our focus on raising the self-esteem of our clients. The Main Place is unique; there is no template in the U.S. We do not simply provide new and nearly new clothing; we teach how to dress for success by providing instruction on modesty and the proper clothing to wear for different occasions. We also instruct clients as to which styles enhance their body type and which colors are their most complementary.
The Main Place ensures that every client has the ultimate shopping experience complete with their own "image consultant" who personalizes their outfits and often builds entire wardrobes. We serve all as though they are the clientele of the personal shopper at Neiman's or Nordstrom's.
We see their transformation as we engage with them, point out their best features, love on them. They way a person feels about themselves impacts their entire life - we love showing our clients how worthy they are.
For the homeless teen the outcome is the confidence to focus on their education and graduate to a world of opportunities. For the domestically abused, the outcome is to rebuild their self-worth, permanently terminate the relationship with their abuser, and make a new life. For the jobless, it's the confidence to locate worthy employment, and become or return to being, a contributing member of society.
We continually need to restock the hygiene items, boys and men's briefs, girls and women's panties, towels, sheets, and skinny jeans from 4 T to 4 X
The Main Place provides new clothing and personal items for homeless teens and individuals or families who are in need.
