Lake Wilson Clothing Center 101 Broadway Lake Wilson, MN 56151 Phone: n/a In the little town of Lake Wilson, MN, is the Lake Wilson Clothing Center, "The Boutique," as it is affectionately known to the 320 townspeople. This small community is located in what could be considered the middle of nowhere. The Boutique, run completely by 10 RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) volunteers, is the only inexpensive source of clothing in the area. The average price of a piece of clothing runs about fifty cents. Individuals come from a radius of about two hours away to get in on the good deals. The area is mostly farmland, and as many reports have shown, small farmers are struggling to survive. Many individuals have voiced that without this center they could not afford to clothe their families. In addition, the center provides free clothing to disaster stricken families. |
