General Store

The General Store offers a large and varied selection of  clothing for all ages, infants up to adults, all priced from 10¢ to $2.00, and that is for a woman's dress or a kid's coat. Many items for the home are also available at a similarly low cost. 

This continues the original mission of Community Clothesline to make it possible for immigrants to get their lives started in our high-tech economy.  Today's Rochester area is even more extensively populated with newcomers, immigrants, refugees and others on very limited incomes.  All can shop with dignity here.  They can outfit an entire family on their earnings from entry-level and minimum wage employment or from meager Social Security checks.  Many of these folks are also remitting a large percentage of their own limited earnings to family members in their original countries who have not been fortunate enough to gain entry into the United States.

La Boutique

La Boutique sells high quality clothing, personal items and household articles that have been donated to generate the supplemental funds required to pay the overhead for the main mission of Community Clothesline – to aid the new and less fortunate in our area to get into the mainstream. 

Without La Boutique sales the prices at the General Store would have to higher and this would work against the central purpose of Community Clothesline which is to aid the working poor, people on fixed incomes, refugees and new immigrants, young people furnishing a dorm room or their first apartment to purchase affordable and respectable clothing so they can get into the mainstream of American life.
