Our Mission
A Store With Purpose.
A Mission That Matters.
Located on Pittsburgh’s North Side, The Nest is more than just a children’s clothing boutique. The Nest’s mission is to be a safe, welcoming haven for everyone – especially marginalized moms and families — where they will know that they have dignity, are valued and respected.
Loving staff and volunteers help those who walk through our doors find greatly discounted and gently-used children’s clothing, newborn through 12 years, and baby items that will assist them in building their own nests. ​ Every item on our shelves represents care, dignity, and practical support for those raising little ones. We believe that when parents are supported, children thrive—and when children thrive, communities grow stronger.
Our Story
Two organizations committed to supporting families across Pittsburgh
The Nest was brought to life by Allegheny Center Alliance Church in partnership with Network of Life pregnancy care centers — two organizations committed to supporting families across Pittsburgh — in 2020.
Lynne Workman and the two organizations saw the need for a place that could offer both essential resources and a sense of belonging. That vision became The Nest: a bright, friendly children's clothing boutique where practical help and everyday generosity meet.
Today, we continue that mission with the help of our incredible volunteers, donors, and shoppers—building a stronger North Side, one family at a time.
