Prom Dress Giveaway in Faribault

For young women and men in high school, prom is a special event. It is something that they look forward to all year, make plans and once the evening itself has passed, they will have the memories for years to come. But prom is expensive, and for some families, the cost can be a huge obstacle to attending. In 2013, Cinderella's Closet of Hope was created to provide formalwear to students who might otherwise not be able to attend prom.

The program receives donated dresses, shoes and accessories in a wide array of sizes and then organizes several dates and times for students to find the dress of their dreams. This year's events will be at Hope United Methodist Church, 3166 197th St. E., Faribault.  The giveaways will be Wednesday, March 11 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Saturday, March 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Sunday, March 15 from 1-4 p.m.; Saturday, March 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Sunday, March 29 from 1-4 p.m.

In addition to helping young girls' dreams come true, and giving them a chance to create wonderful memories, this program is also environmentally friendly. For more information, or to donate your dress, shoes or accessories, call (952) 240-0269 or email heathprpL@gmail.com.
