Operation Cinderella Receives a Fairy Tale Donation

On July 29, Assistance League members met Joshua Acevedo, Director of Sales & Customer Experience at Macy’s Baybrook, and his associates at curbside pickup.  Members were thrilled to load the $15,000 worth of donations in their vehicles and unload at CCISD Learners Support Center where Operation Cinderella donations are stored and distributed.

Macy’s has partnered with Assistance League of the Bay Area to distribute more than 600 articles of clothing to local community members in need. The donation includes a variety of apparel, including prom dresses and children’s formal wear. Assistance League will distribute the donation to support Operation Cinderella which provides economically disadvantaged high school senior girls and boys with everything necessary to have a positive prom experience.

Macy’s is committed to giving back, sharing joy and being there for the community in times of need. This unprecedented time has brought challenges to many families in the communities Macy’s colleagues live and work, and Macy’s is proud to support incredible organizations—such as Assistance League—whose impactful work plays a vital role in strengthening and enriching the local community and beyond.

Although Operation Cinderella’s busiest times are in the spring of each year, it’s never too early to donate a new or gently-used evening dress, jewelry, shoes, or purse to make a senior girl’s prom dreams come true.  Donations can be dropped off during hours of operation at the organization’s Resale Shop at 100 E. Nasa Parkway, Suite 80 in Webster.

Assistance League of the Bay Area is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that changes lives through philanthropic programs in the Houston Bay Area community.
