Non profit org to donate my wedding dress??

Does anyone know of a non for profit organization who accepts wedding dressess? I would love to donate mine, rather than seal it up, store it, never to be seen again. I'm sure there is someone out there who could use it!!

Please let me know.

thank you,
Jennifer

There are a few organizations that were listed in my pre-cana materials - let me find them and I'll post them again.

Go with the Bridal Garden- they're got a great rep.

Bridal Garden (www.bridalgarden.org), which resells gowns to support Sheltering Arms Children's Services.

Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, which resells gowns to support breast cancer victims (www.makingmemories.org).

Bridesmaid dresses can be donated to 'Operation Fairy Dust' - www.altrue.net/site/nybacked/section.php?id-832 - which gives gowns away to needy high school girls for their proms. This is what I'm going to do with the BM dresses I have from weddings I've been in/am going to be in. I'm hoping my BM's will consider donating theirs too.

Edited for spelling.
