The vision of A Beautiful Me has continued to grow over the past 10 years to reach girls in seeing their value made in the image of God. As the pastor of Mosaic Midtown Church, in which Karen Palka attends, I am encouraged to watch spiritual development being fostered within young ladies through the new project, The Closet by A Beautiful Me.

Mick Veach, Mosaic Midtown Church, Pastor

Volunteering at The Closet is a great way to learn and experience new things in life. Before I was working at The Closet, I was so shy when talking to people. After a couple of weeks volunteering, I could talk to people better than I could before, and I was helping ladies pick out their dresses!
