Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a fierce and fabulous fashionista with a closet full of dresses. While she yearned for more closet space, she couldn't help but think to herself, but what if I decide I want to wear this dress again? Yet, as the days passed, her closet grew more and more cramped until one day she decided: enough is enough!--and proceeded with her spring cleaning.
Ringing any bells? If, like our fairytale fashionista, you are thinking of cleaning out your closet, there couldn't be a better time! Not only can you make room for new spring and summer apparel, but you can also play fairy godmother to a Cinderella in need!--minus the blue hooded cloak and magic wand.
The Fairy Godmother Project of Massachusetts is a charitable organization that collects both new and gently worn dresses and accessories for financially disadvantaged students so that they can attend their school formal occasions, dressed to impress. They accept donations of formal dresses, shoes, handbags, and accessories at a number of drop-off locations located conveniently throughout the state.
If you're anything like me, I bet you can remember watching Cinderella as a little girl, wishing for your own fairy godmother to transform you into a beautiful soon-to-be princess with glass slippers and a horse-drawn carriage. Now you have the opportunity to actually BE that fairy godmother to a lovely young girl in need of a dress for a night almost as magical as the royal ball--PROM.
Don't wait until the clock strikes midnight! Log on to the Fairy Godmother Project's website, www.fairygodmotherprojectofma.org/, to locate the drop-off location nearest to you. After all, fierce and fabulous fashionistas can be fairy godmothers too!
For more information on the organization, donations, and volunteer opportunities, you can visit the Fairy Godmother Project of Massachusetts, Inc. at www.fairygodmotherprojectofma.org/.
