Pillowcase Dresses


Dresses being sorted at WHY

If you have followed this blog for any length of time you know that Project Pillowcase is near and dear to my heart. 




It was so exciting to take so many dresses with us.

We started by giving the girls at Wesley Home first choice of the dresses.  Some of them had only the clothes they were wearing when we arrived because they were new to WHY.  Some of the girls who had been there had only two outfits.

It was difficult to get pictures at the church where we did the feeding and supply handout because despite efforts to keep things orderly, we were swarmed when the families saw that we were giving clothing and shoes.  The mothers get so excited to have new things for their children. 

Here are a few pictures of that event.



It was so exciting for me to have the opportunity to give the dresses that so many of you have sent.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!


The dresses were also given out a few at a time to girls in need.
