Maddie Avillar, 13, of Canton, and Girl Scout Troop 2819 are collecting prom dresses, shoes, and accessories for House of Hope's Hope Closet as part of the troop's Silver Award project. The House of Hope serves Cherokee County by assisting primarily with food and clothing; the Hope Closet is a division of the House of Hope and provides clothes for infants to adults in need.

Donations of prom dresses, shoes, and accessories will be distributed to teen girls in need throughout Cherokee County to help fulfill their dream to attend their high school prom. Girl Scout Troop 2819 will be collecting items through February 28, 2015. For more information or to arrange pick-up of items, email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
