A local organization is helping teens look their best as they prepare for proms and graduations this spring.
FreeHelpCK is holding its 6th annual outfit giveaway each Saturday for the next few weeks at the Downtown Chatham Centre.
The storefront across from Tees and Sweats will be open 11am to 2pm each Saturday until May.
Last year, 398 teenagers took advantage of the program, but officials are expecting that number to grow this year with the increased cost of living.
“A child shouldn’t have to worry about fitting in because of their financial situation,” spokesperson Tim Haskell said in a news release. “This is why it’s important we help fill their needs by providing them with a beautiful outfit and helping them fit in by giving them the same opportunity to feel good about themselves.”
Donations of gently used dresses, suits, shoes, and other semi-formal and formal clothes are still being accepted.
