As a young high school student, Rebecca launched a drive to provide prom dresses to girls who could not afford them. She singlehandedly collected more than 250 formal dress donations - helping girls attend their high school proms. From this, Becca's Closet was born. To keep Becca's dream alive, countless dedicated people throughout the world have joined to provide opportunities for those who seek them. Although the core mission of Becca's Closet, located in the Festival Flea Market, was to collect and distribute dresses to high school girls with financial need, our goals have expanded to offer additional opportunities for deserving young people.
