ELKHORN CITY, Ky. ( WYMT )- Pike County Girl Scout Troop 411 invites students to ‘ Say Yes to the Dress.’
The army launched its community service initiative in 2020, which raised money to fund a completely proper utilize giveaway.
” I think it’s a really great group event with all supporting these women,” said Girl Scout Olivia Sykes.
The second event kicked off Saturday, bringing more than 250 clothes to Elkhorn City Elementary School. Administrators say it has been a labor of love to find clothes, shoes, suit, and equipment for individuals who may not normally have access.
A couple of women spent hours going through the options Saturday morning, according to Troop Leader Diana Sykes, and came home with a clothing and equipment for a night to remember.
You knew it when she came out with the best outfit for her. She said,” Her mouth showed it, and that was worth all the effort.”
The Girl Scouts claim it is heartwarming to have the community’s support throughout the job, but the real joy is seeing a child find the costume of her goals in their closets.
” Seeing all the women find their perfect gown and seeing their faces only light up, it’s thus amazing”, said Olivia. To see that they suddenly have the opportunity to get dressed up and act like princesses.
The event’s individuals and donors, according to those involved, are making a big impact on the children.
” It’s amazing that people and families donate things they’ve already spent a lot of money on themselves just so someone else can have the same experience,” said Diana.
The freebie continues Sunday, from 11 a. m. until 3 p. m. in the class auditorium. Anyone in need can stop by to find the ideal pair.
