Step Up for Dress Up

Gosh, I love it when America's youth steps up and does something really cool.

Woodland Hills-based teens Megan and Phoebe Stoeckel just launched an amazing new nonprofit called Operation Dress Up!. They started the organization to collect gently used clothing throughout the school year and find a way to get it to homeless children enrolled in LAUSD schools.

How great is that?

The girls are holding their very first clothing drive from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 6, at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt (at the Fallbrook Mall, 6731 ½ Fallbrook Avenue in West Hills). Take some stuff to donate, and you'll receive a coupon for a free 10-oz. frozen yogurt. It's a delicious way that you and the kids can do something for children in need.

The clothing collected from this drive will be delivered to Beyond Shelter, an organization that provides aide to L.A.'s homeless families.
