(GRANDVILLE, Mich.) A new clothing boutique is on a mission to help women leaving domestic violence situations, human trafficking situations, and re-entering society after being incarcerated. 

Redeemed Mobile Boutique, a new non-profit located in Grandville will be working with these women to outfit them with clothes for professional settings, causal settings, and special event settings. 

"Clothing women who need it, it's gonna change their world," said Holly Gort, the Founder of Redeemed Mobile Boutique. 

Gort is an image consultant and has been running BeYoutiful Image Consulting for several years and is excited to use her expertise to help these women in need.  

The boutique is by appointment only and allows non-profits who help women to bring groups in to shop. 

The women do not pay for any of the clothing and Gort works with each woman to find what works best for her needs. 

"Kind of just sit down with them, see where they are, what their needs are and really kind of hone in on what's their style personality, what do they feel great in," said Gort.

Redeemed Mobile Boutique has everything from dresses, to sweaters, to work pants, to jeans, to fancier blouses, to handbags, shoes, and jewelry. 

Gort says the non-profit took off more quickly than she had expected and a few non-profits have already brought groups through to get clothing. 

She says the right outfit can be a huge confidence booster. 

"Seeing women's faces when they come in and they feel good and when they leaving knowing I know my outfits are pulled together, they look great on me," said Gort. 

In situations where a non-profit is not able to bring women by the boutique, the boutique will go to them. 

Gort has a trailer that can transport clothing and still give women the experience they deserve. 

The boutique also has several accessories for the women to add to their outfits from jewelry, to shoes, to handbags. 

"We have like dressy and fun shoes but we also have some winter boots," said Gort. "We have some winter jackets coming in as well so we're trying to keep things seasonal." 

More information about Redeemed Mobile Boutique can be found on their website along with a calendar to sign up for volunteer opportunities.
