Make a Teen's Life Special this Prom Season! People's Resource Center Needs Your Help!

Join me in donating slightly used prom dresses to the People's Resource Center in Wheaton. Reach out to make a young teen's life a little better!

As a mother of two daughters (both of whom are now in their 20s) I have enjoyed the pleasure of shopping for prom gowns.  Red ones, pink ones, blue ones, short ones, long ones and so on!  And don't forget about the accessories! At one point I thought it might be a good idea to open up a resale shop in my spare time (spare time?????????). But I have finally found something exciting to do with the last few dresses on hand--donate them to the People's Resource Center in Wheaton. 

What a great idea!  Why not put a smile on the face of a young adult and offer them the opportunity to wear a beautiful prom gown for their very special event? Here are some of the particulars:

Donations accepted now through April 6th:
