About Us

Founded in 2022, Clothed In Strength was created with a mission of bridging the gap between government assistance and financial freedom for low to moderate income single mothers. This is exactly where founder, Heather Fronk, found herself as a young mother at the age of 19. Working full time as well as working to complete her Bachelors at YSU, she found herself in the middle of making too much income to qualify for financial and housing assistance, however not making enough to fully make ends meet without working a second job. It is now her mission to help bridge this gap for single mothers who find themselves in this situation through 3 mission pillars of Clothed In Strength: 1. A free boutique for basic needs such as clothes, shoes, work apparel and coats for the mothers and their children via donations from the community, 2. Providing financial grants for unexpected and emergency life events and 3. Being a community resource center to connect our mothers to local resources.
