Our Mission
Dressed In Hope is a charity whose goal is to help impoverished girls around the world. We recognize the critical need that must be met in order for these girls—not only to survive—but to thrive as well. By sewing and delivering simple, hand-made dresses and small "pocket dolls" to these deserving girls, we send the message that all girls are worthy of love and respect.

Founded by one woman in 2011 our local central Florida group now numbers 30 to 40 women.
We also receive dresses from groups and individuals in other locations throughout the United States. Meeting every Thursday morning in our Village Walk Town Center we are
responsible for sewing and distributing more than 17,000 dresses with matching dolls to 25
countries including locations in the United States.
All of our dresses are hand delivered, sometimes traveling with two or more different groups
to get to their final distribution point. Dressed In Hope has partnered with many mission
groups and organizations to transport dresses including UCF Burnett Honors College,
Dayspring Missions of Hope, Delta Cares, Nautique Cares, and most recently Rotary Club.
We have never paid for any transportation of our dresses, using our donated funds to purchase
supplies for our dresses.
Safety
Our Mission
Safety
We are told that a girl wearing one of our dresses sends the message that she is well-cared for, and therefore may discourage would-be predators and human traffickers.
The Dress a Girl label on the outside of each dress sends an additional message that each girl is under the care of an organization, giving her added protection from those who would harm her.
