ST. LOUIS — Every young lady deserves to feel like a princess at her prom. The Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition is working to make that dream a reality through the annual Cinderella Project.
The Cinderella Project provides free prom dresses to high school juniors and seniors who are impacted by foster care or are referred by their high school counselor or social worker as otherwise unable to attend prom for financial reasons.
You can help make prom dreams come true by bringing new and gently-used prom dresses and formal gowns to any of the Cinderella drop-off locations:
- West County Center:
- 80 W County Center Dr, Des Peres, MO 63131
- Level 1 near Nordstrom
- West Oak Cleaners:
- 111471 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO
- 1736 Clarkson Rd., Chesterfield, MO
- 12 Four Seasons Shopping, Chesterfield, MO
- 2470 Taylor Rd., Grover, MO
- Refresh Boutique
- 1710 S Brentwood Blvd, Brentwood, MO 63144
You can also help by donating store gift cards. Visit the display on Level 1 near Nordstrom: take a donation envelope, purchase a gift card from the marked store, and drop it in the slot on the stand. Gift cards will be used to purchase dresses, jewelry, shoes, and other prom accessories.
Store gift cards requested include Bath & Body Works, Claire's, Icing, JCPenney, Macy's, Nordstrom, Sephora, Soma Intimates and Victoria's Secret.
The Cinderella Project is accepting donations through February 18. They are specifically in need of size 14 prom dresses.
