What happens next?

All donated items will be set up at the Multi Service Center for the community to shop on Saturday March 24, 2018 with local stylist Tiffany Piñero helping shoppers pick out an outfit for upcoming events {aka prom/weddings/other formal events}.

Each dress will cost $5, jewelry will cost $3 per piece, and each makeup item will cost $1 — 100% of the money raised during this “sale” will go towards Suits for Success {a non-profit that helps adult individuals on their quest for full-time employment} — which is a great way to pay it forward to another organization in need.

If interested in helping volunteer on 3/24/18 from 8AM-4PM OR collecting dresses from drop-off locations on March 23rd, please email hobokengirlteam@gmail.com.

Please RSVP for our shopping drive here, so we have a “headcount” of how many people will be attending on the 24th!
