Donate Gently Worn Special Occasion Dresses at Area Locations

St. Peters, MO — The Community Council of St. Charles County is encouraging women to clean out their closets and donate new and gently used special occasion dresses to the Metro St. Louis Cinderella Project.   

Promoting confidence and self esteem in junior and senior high school women, we provide the gift of a prom dress to young women in the metropolitan area who are unable to acquire one on their own. The young women are referred to the Community Council by high school counselors from St. Louis City and County, St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren Counties.

Over 40 high schools in the metro area have been invited to refer girls to the project for Prom 2012. 

After the VIPs (very important prom-goers) have made their selections, the boutique opens to the public and all remaining gowns and dresses will be sold for $29. 

The Cinderella Boutique will be located at Mid Rivers Mall on the upper level near JC Penney. The boutique will open to the public on March 10, 2012.

Dress collections are going on throughout February at the following area locations:

• CBL Mall's Customer Services Desk at Mid Rivers Mall, Chesterfield Mall, South County Center and West County Center. 
• All six locations of West Oak Cleaners,
• Belleza Salon in O'Fallon,
• Charming Charlie at the Meadows in Lake St. Louis,
• Vatterott College at St. Charles and North Park Campuses,
• Sydney's Closet,
• Sunporch Salon in St. Peters,
• White Traditions Bridal House in St. Charles,
• Troy Flower Shop
• Stevens Institute of Business and Art.
