Thanks to generous grants from community supporters, and the Deschutes County community, Cinderella’s Closet has been loaning dresses to high school girls since April 2018. Additional thanks to the Family Access Network advocates who fully support this program and help communicate its benefits to the community, and to Cathy’s Cleaners, a local dry cleaning company, who provides complimentary cleaning of the dresses.
