A Bridgeport nonprofit found a unique way to celebrate a milestone this weekend.
To commemorate its 40th anniversary, Family Reentry held a fashion show at the Knowlton in Bridgeport.
The goal of "Rise & Bloom" fashion show was to build awareness about Family Reentry's mission of helping people returning home from prison.
"This is a labor of love because just as Cinderella wanted to have a beautiful dress to go make her dreams come true that night," says Vernice Holmes, a fashion designer involved in the event. "I love taking peoples' stories to make your dreams come true in clothing."
The group provides support for those affected with behavioral health issues, domestic violence, reentry, recidivism and risks to youth.
