Throughout the summer, we will be collecting donations of gently used or new dresses, formal footwear, accessories, and more. Donation boxes are beginning to appear at various businesses/organizations across Western Mass, and we’re already seeing a heartwarming response from the community!

The highlight of this campaign will be our "Dress it Forward" Event Day, where individuals will be able to select a complete formal outfit at no cost. This special event will take place on:

Sunday, September 7th
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
340 McKinstry Ave, Chicopee, MA 01013

Attendees can choose one dress, one pair of shoes, and one accessory, all free of charge. No strings attached, just support and style.

We would deeply appreciate the Chamber's support in promoting this campaign and the event day to the broader Springfield and Western Mass community. Whether through your newsletter, social media, or simply helping to spread the word, your involvement would be invaluable in helping us reach teens and young adults who could benefit from this opportunity.
