The ministry is grateful for the generous support of past supporters, according to Boyce.
“We served many girls during the prom dress giveaway the first year, thanks to Minister Larry Kirklin, and believe we will see many more girls during our 2018 giveaway events in March and April or by appointments,” she said.
Dresses are subject to availability.
