Dress Express Collection

Benefitting Mercy Girl Effect

Liberty Corner Church is partnering with The Dress Express Boutique in a dress donation project that benefits The Mercy Girl Effect. The Dress Express Boutique was initiated by Sophia Tiboni and Sarah Murphy, as a way to provide affordable, sustainable formal wear and benefit a charitable cause.

The Mercy Girl Effect is a non-governmental organization founded by the Sisters of Mercy that supports and empowers young women globally to address the issues that impact them. This year’s campaign will support teen mothers in Kenya through the Mother’s Club which provides medical care, health education, and integration back into school.
