Alton, Mo. – You may not know this, but Becca’s Closet of the Ozarks is now open and supplies dresses to high school-age girls in the local and surrounding areas. Here’s what you need to know about Becca’s Closet of the Ozarks.
Becca’s Closet
In Florida, a freshman in high school, Rebecca, hosted a dress drive to provide prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who could not afford to purchase them. In her sophomore year, Rebecca, or Becca, single-handedly collected and donated over 250 formal dresses, enabling girls across South Florida to attend their prom in style. 2003 Rebecca passed away, but to keep Becca’s dream alive, countless dedicated people throughout the United States have joined forces to provide opportunities for those seeking them through Becca’s Closet.
