About The Nest
A Store With Purpose. A Mission That Matters.
The Nest is a nonprofit children’s boutique located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s North Side. We offer gently used clothing and furnishings for kids—from newborn through age 12—at prices that families can afford.
​
But we’re more than just a clothing store. The Nest was created to serve and uplift families in our community, especially single moms, immigrant families, and parents navigating challenges. Every item on our shelves represents care, dignity, and practical support for those raising little ones.
Supporting Moms. Strengthening Families. Building Community
Our Mission
At The Nest, we believe that when parents are supported, children thrive—and when children thrive, communities grow stronger. That’s why we go beyond retail by creating a warm, welcoming space where every shopper is treated with kindness and respect.
Whether you walk through our doors to shop, to donate, or to serve, you become part of something bigger—a place where families are encouraged and real needs are met.
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.
We 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 store 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.
