At Boxes of Basics, we’re here to change that—one box, one child, one outfit at a time.
You might not notice the too-small shoes, the threadbare hoodie, or the outfit that’s been worn all week. But children feel it—in their confidence, in their classrooms, and in their ability to just be kids.
Did you know that parents will spend an average of $264 on their children's clothing and accessories each season? But that number is out of reach for many families.
Our mission is to empower kids with seasonal wardrobes packed with love and compassion. We work with school counselors, social workers, faith leaders and human services agencies to provide children with stylish, quality clothing that will give kids confidence and help them thrive!
Boxes of Basics Serves Children in Greater Prince William County, The City of Manassas & The City of Manassas Park, Fauquier County & several locations within Northern Virginia.
At Boxes of Basics we believe that every child deserves to have their basic clothing needs met.
Our mission is to provide children in need with a seasonal box of quality new and gently used clothing in their size.
Our amazing volunteers hand select and pack every Box of Basics and tailor it for an individual child. When a child receives their Box of Basics we want them to feel like they are opening a gift!

Pack

Each Box of Basics provides a complete seasonal wardrobe—carefully packed to meet a child’s unique age, size, and style.
Every box includes: 4 play outfits, 4 school outfits, 1 pair of pajamas, 1 dressy or “Sunday Best” outfit, new shoes, socks and underwear, a winter coat, 2 age-appropriate books and a dental hygiene kit
Please note: Shoes, socks, and underwear are the only items we require to be brand new. All other clothing items are gently used, carefully inspected, and packed with love.
