A v. charming action alert, from the Lower Eastside Girls Club:
When you are home for the holidays, don't forget to get your GOWNS FOR GIRLS!
Last spring, through the generosity of companies and individual donors like you, we held our 3rd annual "Gowns for Girls" prom dress giveaway. Much to our delight, over 350 of our girls who otherwise would not have been able to afford a prom dress, received new and gently used gowns.
We are requesting donations of new or gently used prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, and cocktail clothes in a variety of sizes that are just taking up space in your closet! All dconations are tax-deductible and receipts will be sent if requested. The gowns should be sent to the Girls Club, no later than Friday, April 30th at: The Lower Eastside Girls Club, Attn: Gowns for Girls, 56 East 1st Street, New York, NY 10003. Contact Jenny for more info.
Lauren, thanks for sharing this. One of the teen sites I write for is Prom related and we could put out a call for "after prom" donations. Very cool.
