Community is at the heart of everything we do. We are inspired by the local high school students we mentor, energized by the small business gatherings we help lead, and deeply grateful for every opportunity to give back. Supporting our neighbors is why we show up and being a part of this neighborhood makes us feel lucky every day.
For the third year in a row, we're partnering with the Family Center of Washington County, an incredible local organization that provides parenting support, recovery coaching, childcare, and so much more to families right here in our community. Last year, you all helped us donate 96 dresses and over $1,500 — and we'd love to top it!
Now through June 2026, there are a few ways to get involved: donate a pre-loved dress and get $10 off a new one at Bailey Road, buy a donated dress for $50 (100% goes to FCWC), and if you buy a new dress from us during May or June, know that 10% of all dress sales go to FCWC.
Who is the Family Center of Washington County?
FCWC is a vital resource and gem in our community. Based in Montpelier, they provide support to families and single mothers through parenting classes, recovery coaching, community connection groups, and a vibrant childcare center.
What kind of dresses can I donate?
We accept all women's dress sizes. There is no limit to how many dresses you can donate. Please make sure that the dress doesn't have any rips, holes, or noticeable stains. We do not accept bridal gowns.
How does the $10 coupon work?
For each dress you donate, you'll receive one $10 off coupon. This coupon can be used toward the purchase of a new or donated dress at Bailey Road. Please feel free to donate as many dresses as you'd like. Limit one coupon per dress purchase.
Can I shop the donated dress rack?
Yes! You can shop the donated dresses. All donated dresses are $50 and 100% of sales go straight to FCWC.
What's the timing?
The Dress Drive will be going on for the months of May and June 2026. $10 off coupons must be used by June 30, 2026.
How was last year's event?
This is our third year! Last year we donated 96 dresses and over $1,500 to FCWC. We can't wait to see what we can accomplish together this year!
In October 2025, Sarah spoke as a small business owner in the community to mark two years of progress since the commission's formation. Learn more here.
Last spring, with your help, we collected 96 dresses and raised over $1,500 for our community partners at Family Center of Washington County.
Sarah worked with U-32 student, Maddie, to create a business plan for her farm stand, Madeline's Market.
