  The celebration of New Year was over. But anyway, eventhough the New Year’s Day was over, you can still use your gown or if you want you can donate it to the poor. Have you ever heard the Glass Slipper Project? This has nothing to do with finding a real life Cinderella and returning merchandise. (There never was one; it’s a common folk tale across many cultures.) The Glass Slipper Project is a charitable project that donates new or barely used (they’re stringent) prom dresses to needy young women attending their high school prom, that can’t get quick payday loans for a new dress. They take either financial or prom dress donations, and they have boutiques in different areas. A student must present proof of attending school, and enrollment at junior or senior status. It’s better to get needy teens to the Glass Slipper Project than giving them credit cards, for sure.
