Becky Hansen talks with Angela Pearson, Director of Bridal Boutique by New Name in Wheaton. Pearson explains that New Name is an organization that works with women who have been exploited, but they needed a funding source; what better way for women to help women than donating current style bridal gowns! Everything is donated including the space for the shop and the volunteers who run it. Pearson accepts ‘clean gowns worn once’, shoes and accessories from individuals, and samples from bridal shops. Brides shop by appointment only to find their beautiful wedding gown. All proceeds go to New Name to assist women in crisis. (www.bridalboutiquebynewname.org)
