Say Yes to the Dress - FREE Dress Giveaway

Friends,

I received an email from New Beginnings. Please see below and spread the word.

"Dear Community Partners –

Each year New Beginnings holds a free prom dress giveaway. We collect gently used dresses as donations and allow girls from Windsor/Essex to browse and try them on. This event will be held on Saturday March 8th from 1-5pm at New Beginnings (main site) 1015 Highland Ave. We are hoping that you will share our flyers with your co-workers, youth, families, friends and any committees you may sit on in order to advertise the event.

We are also asking for donations of gently used dresses which can be dropped off Monday – Thursday from 9am – 6pm at New Beginnings (Janette site) located at 1049 Janette Ave (half a block south of Erie Street).  This is an amazing event that has provided nearly 700 dresses free of charge since its inception 5 years ago.

Please help prom/formal a reality for the young women of our community!"
