A Charity located at the Valley Mall, 1925 E Market Street, Harrisonburg, VA 22801
Providing dressy attire for teens in need since 2004.
Join our volunteers to help provide Cinderella moments for others.
Who We Are
Our Story
Cinderella Project began in 2004 as a Christian mission project to bridge the gap of those who could afford fancy attire for prom and those who could not.
In 2011, we worked with the school guidance officers to provide them with invitations to give students who needed our help.
We operated in a store at the Valley Mall that had all of it's windows blacked out so students didn't have to worry about privacy.
Sustainable Fashion
We take pride in the fact that we were founded on the principle of sustainability in fashion.
Allowing gently used fashions to be used again allows the conservation of resources.
Our Services
Our mission is to help teens (of low income) navigate fashion sizes and feel pampered and special. For Prom, we help in March, April and May. For Homecoming we help in September & October.

We offer the general public access our store on usually on the 1st Friday of the month. It is called FASHION FRIDAY and is a fundraiser. It allows non-students to shop and support our mission.
We offer special schools and groups the opportunity to arrange a FIELD TRIP just for them. A great asset when students do not have home support or transportation.
How Does This Work ?
Our homecoming service will begin after Labor Day Weekend, and we are offering 7 service days for area teens and students. We are not doing Fashion Fridays during this time (but non-students are welcome to come, knowing that students will be prioritized for service).
The dates are:
Friday, September 11th ~ 4 to 7 pm
Saturday, Sept. 12th ~ 10 am to 1 pm
Friday, September 18th ~ 4 to 7 pm
Saturday, Sept. 19th ~ 10 am to 1 pm
Friday, September 25th ~ 4 to 7 pm
NO SERVICE ON Saturday, Sept. 26th
Friday, October 2nd ~ 4 to 7 pm
LAST DAY Sat., Oct. 3rd ~ 10 to 1 pm
PROM HELP
We offer FIELD TRIPS too! A special time and day for the school to bring at least 9 to 12 students for a special time just for them!
At the Valley Mall we are located across from Books a Million.
Cinderella Experience is a fundraiser product introduced in 2025.
Intended for those who don't qualify for free services because they have sufficient income or are not students.
.
We work with you to host up to 7 people for a private SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
Perfect for wedding parties and/or others who want a Cinderella Experience. A $100 booking donation provides a 2-hr experience for 1 to 7 gue
Thank you VOLUNTEERS!
We love to work with student groups, lady groups, and or business groups to arrange service for a Student Saturday or Field Trip. We need at least 5 volunteers to do this.
