Molly got the idea from Mount Saint Mary’s University, which did the project a few years ago to donate during their mission trips. She liked the idea but wanted to do it locally. Molly heard that many less fortunate families are willing to buy an expensive First Communion dress instead of paying their BGE bills. She feels that “this project will make a big difference in many underprivileged families’ lives.
“I was originally hoping for twenty dresses, but now that I’ve has reached seventy-four, I’m going for eighty!” Dresses and accessories can be put in a box located outside the senior locker room until Friday, September 23.
