Our Mission
Our HistoryIn January 2003, Enchanted Closet was formed as a community service project to outfit disadvantaged girls for their prom. The working philosophy was that no high school girl should miss this rite of passage because she could not afford a dress. It was a simple principle that resonated in the Atlanta community and sparked an outpouring of support. Enchanted Closet received donations of hundreds of formal dresses and other social and professional clothing during a three-month collection drive. To date, Enchanted Closet has given away nearly 1,900 formal dresses to girls for their special occasions such as prom. Click here for more information about this program. The founders of Enchanted Closet realized that they were in a unique position to make a positive difference in the lives of young girls. We view the connection between clothing and self-esteem as an opportunity to empower young girls.
During the summer, Enchanted Closet volunteers
began the process of formally organizing and secured 501(c)(3) status in
the Fall of 2003. Board Members
