DECEMBER 2023
Happy December!

As 2023 comes to a close, we are celebrating our 20th year and the many milestones we have reached in the past two decades. We count on our hundreds of volunteers throughout the year to prepare and hold our Prom Dress Giveaway and the event, which is March 16th and 17th is sure to be the best yet. And once again we will send our dresses to far away corners of Oregon and Washington through our Sharing the Love Program. In just a couple of weeks we open the Dreams Scholarships application and will again award nearly $10,000 to high school seniors to continue their education, thanks in part to the incredible partnership with the Davis Family.

Join us as we thank all of our supporters and welcome new volunteers and supporters as well. We could not continue our mission or be celebrating 20 years without all of you! Be sure to watch our ANNIVERSARY VIDEO, which includes so many smiles that we all have helped bring to high school students in Oregon and Washington!

We wish you Happy Holidays and a wonderful and merry season!

Holiday Tea kicks off 20th anniversary celebration, raises funds for Giveaway and scholarships
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Holiday Tea in November. The sold-out event was held at the Portland Golf Club and was a tremendous success. Together in addition to celebrating Abby's Closet and kicking off our 20th anniversary, we raised more than $25,000.
A special thank you to the amazing team of volunteers and helpers who came together to make the event shine! Thank you to photographer Kate Birch , who documented the day for us. A huge shout out to members of the Charitable Chicks, who worked with us behind the scenes that day to make sure the auction ran smoothly along with a couple of our regular volunteers who spent the day on their feet helping. We look forward to seeing everyone next year for tea and twirls!
Thank you for helping us continue our annual GivingTuesday tradition with your support

Thank you to everyone who supported and gave to Abby's Closet on November 28 for GivingTuesday. We are hopeful with company matches still coming in that we will hit our $10,000 goal. Your support this year will go directly towards supporting our Prom Dress Giveaway Event and scholarships.
If you missed the date, there's still time to donate towards our goal! Visit our website and GivingTuesday page. When so much attention is given to what divides us, generosity brings people together.
