Organization Gives Students Access To Formal Attire
Junior League of Honolulu donated $1,000 in support of YWCA O‘ahu’s The Bella Project, operating under the Dress for Success Honolulu program. The Bella Project breaks down financial barriers for youth by providing high school students with dresses and other formal attire, free of charge, so they can participate in formal events.
