Church offers high school girls royal treatment for prom dress shopping

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Making dreams happen one dress at a time. That’s Grace United Methodist Church’s mission with its second annual Cinderella’s Closet Ministry.

Grace collects gently used formal wear, shoes, and accessories from the community, and during a “shopping day” high school girls in the area who may not have the resources to afford prom find the dress of their dreams.

They are given a personal shopper, provided fully catered food, outfitted with accessories and shoes and more.

In its inaugural year, Grace helped five New Hanover County high schools and 30 girls.

There are appointments on March 17 and April 21 this year.
