The giving continues

Many of you might remember the story of Allison and Sasha, two girls with big hearts who founded Prom Drive to give pre-owned dresses, shoes and accessories to underprivileged girls.

Now, we’re happy to say that their charitable nature remains strong.

Allison, Sasha and another co-founder Lexi are starting a new venture called Handled with Care. The store will be located in Yerwood Center, Stamford, Conn.

According to Allison, Handled with Care aims to “create a dignified shopping experience for kids and teens who would not typically have the opportunity.”

There will be men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, both casual and fancy attire.

These clothes will “allow them to feel comfortable and presentable attending interviews, meetings and other occasions,” said Lexie.

The girls have partnered with businesses to arrange drop-off points for clothing donations.

The girls also want people to spend their money on other necessities instead of clothing. Lexi said, quoting the National Center for Children in Poverty, “Forty-five percent under 18 live in low-income families.”

Allison and Sasha co-authored “Prom Drive,” and Lexi wrote “Kids Helping Kids.”

Just amazing. Congrats, girls!
