How Our Mission Started...

2007 was the first year for Cinderella’s Closet. It’s an effort inspired by a teenager I met while shopping at a consignment store. I overheard her ask a clerk if the beautiful, gently-used gown on display could be put on hold while she figured out how to pay for it.

She asked her foster mother for the money, but a prom dress is an extra in life, and its price was out of their reach. Seeing her disappointment, I bought the dress for her. As tears flooded her eyes, she thanked me and said she would look “just like Cinderella.” For one day, a little girl was transformed into a princess.

I was transformed as well. Shortly thereafter, Cinderella’s Closet became a ministry of Immanuel United Methodist Methodist Church. In our first year, 2007, we were able to outfit 115 girls with dream dresses and accessories for their school's formal events. In 2008, we have helped almost 400 girls in 16 counties in Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.
