The bridesmaid’s gown you really won’t wear again (even though you said you would), the prom dress you once adored, and the sparkly gala outfit and earrings everyone has seen (twice) could put a roof over a young woman’s head … and a meal on her stove… and a solar-powered street lamp on her lane for safety and security.Please contact Carol or a member of the Rotary Club of West Chester Downtown to donate your gently worn dresses and jewelry for “Dress for a Good Cause.”
The fundraiser “Dress for a Good Cause” sells gently-worn party wear and picnic sundresses. All proceeds go to projects that benefit survivors of slavery. While local girls who might not be able to afford prom or graduation festivity attire—or simply may not want to spend a small fortune—end up with fashion statements, dresses stay out of landfills and provide funds for a worthy cause. When you donate your dresses, you can reclaim space in your closet and feel great about making a significant difference.
Funds from previous “Dress for a Good Cause” events have helped provide: motorbike and SUV for a boys’ rehab center and a small herd of cattle and a bio-gas oven for a women’s shelter in India. This year’s goal: a pavilion-type outdoor shelter at the center for survivors of human trafficking and sex slavery.
