Spring 2008 Prom Dress Recycle
Working Together to Create Happy Memories

When Alberta Vargas began this program for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church last year, she worked with St. John’s Episcopal of Bridgeport, using their Parish Hall to display the dresses. This year she reached out to Covenant to Care for help in collecting prom dresses from other churches in the region, and also as a means of reaching all the local social workers. Wilton Congregational delivered 19 dresses and accessories.

Meanwhile, The Wilton Woman's Club and a group of high school students had begun a program to collect gently worn prom dresses for girls at Harding high in Bridgeport. They had collected more than 300 dresses but had not found a venue for displaying them. Genia Meinhold read in the eNews about our church’s participation with Covenant to Care. Everyone decided to join forces. Above are some of the volunteers who were working on April 5.
