Lacasa Cinderella Closet Donations
Done with the Dress? LACASA Seeks Teen Formalwear to Stock Cinderella’s Closet!
Pop-up boutique provides affordable options and helps fund LACASA programming
HOWELL, MI – It’s time to clean out your closets for a cause, as LACASA is seeking new and/or gently-loved dresses, gowns, and suits that will provide local high school students with affordable, sustainable options for formal events this year.
The formalwear is for use in Cinderella’s Closet, a beloved program that ensures every student can attend homecoming and other formal events feeling confident and special. At these semi-annual pop-up boutiques, held prior to Homecoming and Prom seasons, students can select a new or gently-used dress or suit for just $25, with all proceeds going to support LACASA’s teen education and prevention programs. These vital programs empower young people throughout Livingston County with the tools and knowledge to build healthy relationships and prevent interpersonal violence.
