Agency: HandsOn Twin Cities

Description:

Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older to volunteer for this project.

Volunteers are needed to help prepare for Goodwill/Easter Seals' annual Bridal Showcase, a six-hour event held in February which redirects hundreds of nearly new wedding gowns, bridesmaids' dresses and other wedding items to those who have use for them, while raising funds to support Goodwill/Easter Seals' crucial work to empower those facing barriers to education, employment, independence and other important life achievements. Volunteers will be asked to sort Bridal, Bridesmaid, Mother-of-the-Bride, Prom and Flower Girl gowns in to 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' categories, for resale as formalwear and Halloween items respectively. (Quality & Standards will be discussed prior to beginning.) Volunteers will also steam, hang and bag 'acceptable' gowns, attach tags and prices and count all the gowns.
