The steering committee of LiGHT has recently taken over coordination of the Wells County Prom Dress Exchange Program. The steering committee began discussions with Suzanne Feeback and Becky Goshorn, co-chairwomen of the program as they were making plans to transition out of their coordinating positions.
LiGHT strives to improve the quality of life for women and children in Wells County. Given this program directly benefits young women from Wells and surrounding counties, the steering committee believed it to be a worthy project to assume responsibilities for. LiGHT is a women’s giving initiative organized through The Wells County Foundation, Inc. The Foundation is equipped to handle the administrative details of the Prom Dress Exchange, while volunteers for the program will be coordinated through the LiGHT steering committee and LiGHT membership.
The 2024 sale dates have been set for 4-7 p.m. Friday, March 8 and 10 a.m. – noon Saturday, March 9 at the First United Methodist Church in Bluffton. All dresses are $10.
Prom or bridesmaids dresses are accepted throughout the year and may be dropped off at the First United Methodist Church from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or the Wells County Foundation from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. While dresses of all sizes are appreciated, there is currently a short supply of plus-sized dresses.
The Prom Dress Exchange also accepts donations of short formals which are distributed through Bluffton Middle School. These dresses may be viewed by contacting Stephanie White at the Bluffton Middle School. The short formals are available free-of-charge.
Inquiries regarding the Prom Dress Exchange can be directed to the office of The Wells County Foundation, Inc. Follow the Wells County Prom Dress Exchange page on facebook for current information as well.
