If your church, neighborhood, or civic group is interesting in helping with Cinderella’s Closet, please contact them to set up a time. They are happy to come to an event that you already have planned and present a short information session. They are looking for organizations willing to hold fundraisers for Cinderella’s Closet, as well. If you would like to volunteer your time, Cinderella’s Closet will put out a call for volunteers through the Chatham Chatlist, Chatham Connecting, OneChatham, and through previous years volunteers, or you can check their Facebook page for updates. If anyone in the community is interesting in donating gently used formal dresses, shoes, jewelry, purses, or new sample-sized makeup, you may drop them off at Angelina’s Kitchen (Pittsboro), As We Grow (Siler City), Floral Expressions (Chapel Hill), Snap Fitness (Pittsboro), Chatham Habitat-Restore #1 (Pittsboro), or Chatham Community Church (Chapel Hill). If you cannot get to any of these locations but would like to make a donation, please e-mail Cinderella’s Closet at [email protected]. Kathy says that opening Cinderella’s Closet has “…confirmed my belief that this is a wonderful community willing to reach out to help each other in so many ways.” Many businesses, churches, community organizations, and individuals have come together every year to make sure that dreams come true for girls in Chatham County. It has truly become a community outreach.
