This project began on April 6, 2016, when a seed of \u201cthe need to help teenage girls obtain affordable dresses for special school dances\u201d was planted and nurtured by a group of Assistance League of Greater Placer members.\u00a0\u00a0 Local High Schools were contacted to verify the need and in turn, we received not only validation but also the support of the local schools.<\/p>\n
Within five months, members had collected over 150 dresses for both Homecoming and Prom. \u00a0Three Homecoming Dress Events were held for high school girls in September and one in early October 2016.<\/p>\n
Many dresses were purchased for Homecoming by the girls and their parents or relatives. The Homecoming Dress Events in September 2016 validated the need and demonstrated there is clientele who appreciate and want this type of dress.<\/p>\n
We are actively collecting long dresses for Jr. \/Sr. Proms. \u00a0We have many stunning dresses some of which originally cost over $300! \u00a0The long dresses range in price from $10-$40.\u00a0 As expectations for these dresses grow and broaden, we hope donations of these dresses will continue to grow to meet the need. \u00a0\u00a0Gently used and loved dresses may be donated to Assistance League of Greater Placer Thrift Shop or dropped off at the Auburn Journal.<\/p>\n
