Cinderella's Closet is expanding our Reach!
Cinderella's Closet now does not only have locations in Ohio and Kentucky, but also Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
We are partnering with the Vineyard Church of Cincinnati to help with The PROM! for adults with special needs. The event will take place in the fall - check back for more details.
How it all Started....
2007 was the first year for Cinderella’s Closet. It’s an effort inspired by a teenager I met while shopping at a consignment store. I overheard her ask a clerk if the beautiful, gently-used gown on display could be put on hold while she figured out how to pay for it.
She asked her foster mother for the money, but a prom dress is an extra in life, and its price was out of their reach. Seeing her disappointment, I bought the dress for her. As tears flooded her eyes, she thanked me and said she would look “just like Cinderella.” For one day, a little girl was transformed into a princess.
I was transformed as well. Shortly thereafter, Cinderella’s Closet became a ministry of Immanuel United Methodist Methodist Church. Since 2007 we have helped almost 1,500 girls find the dress of their dreams and renewed confidence in themselves.
