YWCA’s Bella Project is back again — and the community is invited to help make formal events accessible and unforgettable for local teens this season.

The drive supports high school students who may not have the resources to purchase formal attire. Your donations help ensure every student can show up feeling confident, celebrated, and ready for their special moment.

What They’re Collecting (Teens 14–18):

• Formal dresses (short, midi, or long)

• Pantsuits and jumpsuits

• Contemporary, fashion-forward styles (within the last 5 years)

Please ensure all items are:

• Clean and ready to wear

• In good condition with working zippers/buttons

• Free of stains, tears, odors, or heavy wear

Every donated piece will be offered through The Bella Project’s styling program, where students are matched with a personal stylist to help them find something that feels uniquely them — at absolutely no cost.

💫 A small donation can make a big difference for a student preparing for a milestone moment.
