When Isabel Pritchett stumbled upon a charity that worked so seamlessly into the fabric of her boutique’s purpose, integrating that work into day-to-day operations was a no-brainer.

The owner of Sanity in Chagrin Falls was introduced to the Cleveland chapter of I Support the Girls through a mutual friend, just a few years after opening her shop in 2008.

The nonprofit collects gently used bras, new underwear and feminine hygiene products that are sent to local churches, homeless shelters and emergency shelters such as WomenSafe.

Sanity contributes early in the process, accepting customers’ donations on a daily basis that I Support the Girls volunteers will routinely pick up at the store, sort through, wash and distribute.

With a seasonally rotating inventory sized for children, older adults and everyone in between, Sanity aims to offer women outfit options that make them feel confident and comfortable. The women and girls benefiting from I Support the Girls gain that same sense of stability ahead of their next period or simply their next morning getting dressed, making their access to essentials streamlined rather than situational.

“We believe in the organization, and we believe in making sure every girl is taken care of,” Pritchett says. “This is directly helping women and girls in the Cleveland area.”

A look around Sanity reveals lots of pink and lots of denim — some of Pritchett’s favorite things.

But there’s no flashy sign to promote the space as a drop-off center for I Support the Girls.

Pritchett prides herself on the collaboration as much as the other core values of her stores. She likes to see the network of donors and recipients grow organically.

“People end up finding it when they need it,” Pritchett says, “if they’re cleaning out the house, if they’re out shopping. It’s not intentional that we don’t promote it a lot. I’m just a big believer in things happening at the right time and not forcing things.”
