Oh Baby! is seeking a donated, sponsored, or low-cost commercial space to serve as our future Resale Boutique and Distribution Center. This space will help us collect, organize, distribute, and sell children's items while supporting families and funding workforce development opportunities for mothers through the Moms on the Move Workforce Program.
We are open to creative partnerships and welcome conversations with property owners, businesses, churches, community organizations, developers, and philanthropic partners. Have an idea or know of a space? We'd love to connect and explore possibilities together.
Potential Space Ideas:
Vacant storefronts or Small retail spaces
Church-owned property or Community centers
Warehouse or flex space with a retail front
Former daycare, office, or nonprofit spaces
Shared-use or donated space opportunities
Currently Accepting Donations!
Oh Baby! is a family-focused social enterprise powered by Skill Start Inc. that transforms donated children's clothing, baby gear, toys, books, and family essentials into opportunities for both community support and economic impact.
Our mission is simple: help families access affordable, quality items while reducing waste and reinvesting resources back into programs that strengthen children, parents, and communities.
Through donations, resale events, pop-up shops, and community partnerships, Oh Baby! provides families with access to gently used and new items that support the healthy growth and development of children. At the same time, proceeds help support workforce development, educational initiatives, family stability programs, and other community-based services offered through Skill Start Inc.
More than a store, Oh Baby! is a movement that promotes sustainability, generosity, and opportunity. Every donation has a purpose, every purchase creates impact, and every family deserves access to the resources they need to thrive.
Donate. Shop. Support. Empower.
What happens to your donation?
Every donation received by Oh Baby! serves a purpose. Donated items may be distributed directly to families in need, used to support community outreach efforts, or offered for sale through our boutique, pop-up shops, and special events. Proceeds from sales help sustain operations and support Skill Start programs that strengthen children, families, and communities. Donations that are sold at our social-enterprise, Oh Baby! Boutique, support moms who are returning to the workforce and need skill development, childcare, workforce training, and workforce supports.
By donating, you're not only helping provide affordable essentials to families, but you're also investing in opportunities that promote education, economic mobility, and long-term community impact.
