Volunteers made dresses for young girls around the world at the first Dress a Girl Program presented by Soroptimist International of Kent on Monday at the Farrington Court Retirement Community.

Donations of more than 20 yards of fabric enabled volunteers to sew numerous sun dresses. Volunteers at the sewing circle included women from the Kent Unity Church, Kent Soroptimist and the Farrington Court Retirement Community.
