Foothills Christian Church, 365 West Bradley Ave., El Cajon, will host “Blessed with a Dress,” a free event for young women needing high-quality, fashionable formal wear for school dances and other special occasions. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, girls can visit the church campus and select a free dress, pair of shoes and jewelry for upcoming formal events.
Church officials are seeking donations of gentle used dresses and accessories. Items can be delivered any weekday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to the church office, 350 Cypress Lane, Suite B, El Cajon.
“Prom season is coming and everyone knows how expensive formal wear can be. So, we are here to help any San Diego young lady who might need a helping hand getting a formal dress for any occasion,” said Elizabeth Church, administrative assistant, Foothills Christian Church. “This event is an opportunity to obtain free, high-quality, fashionable formal wear for school dances and any other special occasion. We want to make sure that no young ladies are sitting at home without a dress. Help us make dreams come true.”
