The Salvation Army is seeking participants for the annual Dress-a-Doll program. Each year, new dolls and teddy bears are purchased by The Salvation Army and dressed by volunteers who donate their time and materials. 400 dolls and bears are available for dressing and can be picked up at The Salvation Army office at 401 NE Adams St. weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
The deadline for returning the dressed dolls and teddy bears to The Salvation Army is Monday, Nov. 15. The dolls and teddy bears will be judged according to various categories with awards being given during the “Doll Tea” on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at The Salvation Army at 401 NE. Adams St. Dress-a-Doll categories include bridal, career wear, historical, night time, playtime, formal/party wear, storybook, sports wear and knit/crochet.
The award-winning dolls and teddy bears will be sold through a silent auction to benefit the programs and services of The Salvation Army. The remaining dolls and teddy bears will be given to area children as Christmas gifts through The Salvation Army Christmas Toy Shop program in December.
