The Nevada County Cinderella Project is a program of Bright Futures for Youth, a Grass Valley, California 501(c)(3), providing free dresses, suits, and tuxedos to middle-school, high-school, and young college students. Teens can access formalwear year-round through the organization's Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop, and the project also holds a special spring boutique in downtown Grass Valley. Donated formalwear is accepted on weekdays at Bright Futures for Youth. The combination of a year-round source and a spring event means students aren't limited to a single date. Visit bffyouth.org for donation drop-off hours and the spring event date.
