Clothing, underwear and socks are items that many of us take for granted. Sadly many school age children miss school because they do not have school appropriate clothing. Thankfully the Treasure Coast cares for families in need…thousands of gently-worn, good quality items are donated every year so children can feel good about themselves and be ready to learn.
Hope’s Closet 4 Children, a community program of Grace Way Village, a 501 c 3 organization located in Fort Pierce was created in 2010 to assist families with their clothing needs. More than 70 local social service agencies and the St. Lucie County School District refer children to Hope’s Closet 4 Children where every six months they may shop at no cost for school and casual play clothing. New socks and underwear, pajamas, winter wear, shoes and books are also offered.
Every year Hope’s Closet 4 Children presents their signature fundraising event, Butterfly Kisses Father Daughter Dance. Not only does the event provide a wonderful afternoon for fathers and daughters (or other male family members) to create priceless memories together, funds from the event are used to support the organization which has given more than 200,000 items of clothing to families disadvantaged by poverty.
On February 12, 2017, the beautiful Pelican Yacht Club will be transformed into a Butterfly Kisses wonderland complete with dancing, crafts, refreshments, glamour and glitz, photograph opportunities and fairy hair magic. There’s a silent auction offering beautiful baskets filled with treats and treasures that no dad can resist for himself or his little princess. No moms are allowed to attend so dads can find a special gift for his Valentine. “Planning and attending Butterfly Kisses is something I look forward to every year,” says Linda Chastain, Hope’s Closet Director. “This is our 5th year to host the event and the 2017 dance promises to be one of the best ever. We are blessed with a generous group of sponsors and donors who open their hearts and help provide a lifetime memory for our guests. Seeing the little girls dance with their fathers absolutely melts your heart.”
The dance has sold out in past years and requires pre-registration. For more information see www.gracewayvillage.com or contact Grace Way Village at 772-925-3074.
