The Beginnings . . .
Operation Fairy Godmother was established 15 years ago. The program started very simply, out of a desire to serve students in need.
Students wanted to go to prom but couldn't afford it! A group of teachers and mothers got together and began the mission of collecting prom attire.
The first year there were approximately 8 dresses collected and stored in the closet of a classroom at Joplin High School.
Currently there are thousands of dresses, hundreds of shoes, jewelry, and now hundreds of tuxedos and accessories.
We update our inventory continually and all proceeds and donation to our program goes to purchasing needed attire and special sizes.
We TRULY are a BLESSED program!
