Cinderella’s Closet of Mid-Missouri

Cinderella’s Closet of Mid-Missouri Our mission: encourage young women & remind them of their worth. Even more than a dress, Cinderella's Close provides an unforgettable, amazing experience.

Cinderella's Closet provides formal wear to girls who could not otherwise afford to attend their prom in an annual event that provides a high-end retail experience ("Dresses to Dreams"). Cinderella's Close provides formal wear to girls who could not otherwise afford to attend their prom. Through donations of new and gently used formal dresses and accessories, we are able to "Turn Dresses Into Drea

ms" for juniors and seniors referred to our organization by their school, community organization or social care agency. From the moment our princesses dance through our doors they are greeted with an environment of grace, love and respect. It is our mission that they leave knowing they are cherished. Cinderella's Closet of Mid-Missouri is planning to launch their first "Dresses into Dreams" event in the spring of 2018 beginning with the Fulton High School. We hope to expand the event to all of Callaway County and mid-Missouri in the near future. You can be a part of making these dreams come true! Do you have a prom or party dress, purses, jewelry, etc that you'd like to donate? Do you sew, you could make minor alterations on site. Do you have a desire to help others and create a positive self-image? Just let us know if you'd like to help. We look forward to hearing from you.

A final farewell… 👗

After several years and 250 young ladies served, Cinderella’s Closet of Mid-MO is closing our doors. We can’t thank all our supporters and volunteers from over the years. Because of you we were able to lift up and encourage so many young women across the region. Thank you 💕

All the remaining dresses and accessories have been donated to Saavy Seconds, run by Unlimited Opportunities in Boonville. Their mission is to help the developmentally disabled live healthy, successful lives. They run day programs for those that are not able to work, both adults and children. They run a recycling center and a resale shop where they employ their clients, get them to and from work, and teach them skills like managing inventory, running a register and working with customers. Their program encompasses so many aspects including housing and they are going to put our resources to good use. They will be providing their clients with dresses for events like "Night to Shine" as well as selling them at greatly reduced prices ($35 or less for dresses) so that everyone that needs them can have access to beautiful dresses and at days and times that are convenient for shopping. They are located right next to Boonville High School and have connections in many other communities in the area. They will even provide free resources with a voucher from Central Missouri Community Action so that no one has to do without. 🙌

Anyone looking for a dress and/or shoes for prom or that special occasion can shop and donate there.

Again, thank you to all the volunteers over the years that have sharing their love and commitment to building confidence in girls and shared in so many beautiful memories. We believe we, the volunteers, benefitted just as much as the girls we served. 💗

Thank you to all of our volunteers over the past two weekends! It was wonderful to see so many smiles and such joy on so many faces. We were privileged to serve 27 princesses this year and to help every princess feel special, confident and valued.

An extra special thank you to Lee's Chicken of Columbia and Mojo's BBQ of Fulton for providing lunches for our volunteers both weekends. We are extremely grateful for your kindness and for the wonderful food!

Last, but certainly not least, thank you to everyone who has donated dresses, shoes, jewelry, funds or time to make it possible for us to turn Dresses into Dreams for these precious young ladies. We couldn't do this without your generosity. THANK YOU!!

Big News!!!

Prom season is almost here and we’re ramping up for our final year of changing lives thru Cinderella’s Closet. 💕

Yes, you read that correctly. This will be our 8th year providing the Dresses to Dreams events and it’s time for us to pass the baton to another organization/community and close our doors.

Please feel free to share with your connections. Our hope is that someone is willing and able to move this wonderful cause forward. We can provide them everything they’ll need except the location/storage and volunteers.

After this year's Dresses to Dreams events, we will be holding dress and accessory sales until June 8 when we close our doors for good.

All funds raised will then be donated to an anti-trafficking organization(s). We want everyone to know that their donations of whatever kind are continuing the mission of helping teens.

Mark your calendars for this year’s events and please share with others who may be interested.
