FIRST OFF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY
We at The Glass Slipper Project are thankful for people like you who generously give of themselves to make the dreams of thousands of young women come true. Our very existence depends upon these gifts from the heart.
The young women this organization serves are between 16 and 18 years old and we want to make sure that the clothing and accessories we provide are appropriate for their age and style. It’s our wish to make them feel like Cinderella in her carriage going to the ball. In order to help us, help them, we kindly request that you please follow our “Donation Guidelines”.
If, after reviewing our guidelines, you feel that your items are not appropriate for teenagers, yet, you would still like to make a contribution, we accept financial donations. These funds will be used to buy dresses and, accessories, as well as to help to cover operating costs.
Glass Slipper Project Donation Guidelines
- Dresses should be fewer than 5 years old.
- Dresses and shoes should be in good condition;
- Dresses, preferably, should be cleaned prior to sending.
- Dresses should be tea length or long formals. The girls do not take the short dresses.
