We were excited to deliver almost 500 prom dresses that were donated by
St. Croix Cleaners customers in 3 short months! Wow! Thanks to all of our wonderful customers who really stepped it up into our St. Croix Cleaners (
TGR's parent company) stores! We joined forces with
Ever After Gowns in January 2010 and agreed to clean the gowns we received as donations from our customers. On April 16th, Dave & Polly Nemec, owners of St. Croix Cleaners, delivered almost 500 gowns to Maggie Harris, President, and Kory Ellefson, Board Member, Ever After Gowns. Our truck was almost full! We've decided to stay on with Ever After Gowns and will continue to accept and clean donated gowns during the next year so that we can deliver another full truck in 2011!
Ever After Gowns is a Minnesota based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting Twin Cities-area young women by providing them with new and gently used formal gowns, shoes, and accessories to be worn to their high school prom. The high school girls receive all the attire and accessories free of charge.
