Casey Lord and Jamie Lugos, students from Franklin Elementary School in Rahway, recently made a very special delivery to the Jumble Store in Cranford. The girls delivered prom dresses to the Glass Slipper Boutique.
The Glass Slipper Boutique is located in the Jumble Store, which is a non-profit thrift store owned and operated by the Junior League of Elizabeth-Plainfield. All income earned is used to forward the League’s mission of helping families in crisis in Union County, either through the League’s own efforts or through the efforts of other local non-profit groups. The store also provides meaningful training and volunteer experiences for League members. It has been in business since 1933. The Glass Slipper Boutique is part of their store and offers budget-friendly prices on gently used dresses, shoes, evening bags, and even jewelry.
Casey and Jamie are members of Franklin School’s Blue and Gold Club, which is a school-based club made up of students that volunteer their time throughout the year to help with different community service activities. The club is overseen by the school’s nurse, Mrs. Barbara Maher. The girls thought that this would be a great project to help those that can’t afford to buy expensive prom dresses. Keep up the great work girls!
