Brides Across America Question

I'm going to start with I'm not a military bride(I am a recent Navy SIL and have a Marine brother by another mother) and was wondering about Brides Across America.

I'm trying to do some research on places to consider for donating my wedding dress.  I noticed that Brides Across America accepts donated gowns. Not to make assumptions but I just figured this would be the most likely area to find a bride with some knowledge of the group.  I know there are a few charities out there that would accept my dress but this one would mean a lot more to me.

I did some cursory internet research and I haven't found any negative reviews (different wedding boards and sites.) 

Thanks!

    I'm not 100% sure if they do or not, but you could always check Operation Homefront as well, I'm pretty sure they do.

    I have heard a lot about Brides Across America, but I don't know any that have used it (mainly because the stores to get the dresses are in select places, and I have never lived anyhwehre near those places, nor do I know anyone in those places)
    I think it's a really sweet cause, though. I have seen it on lots of shows like Ellen, Today, Oprah, etc. so I know it's legit.

    Yeah, I checked out their website to see if there were any places nearby, and they are all actual wedding stores. Not one used dress, all are designer dresses that are donated.

    I thought that too.  My SIL is getting a dress through them this week.  I found this link <a href="http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/Donations.html" rel='nofollow'>http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/Donations.html</a> on the site though.  I'm not sure if they actually give the dresses to brides or if they sell them?  I have to hurry up though because my dress is already I think 2 years old and was a designer sample.

    I'm going to look into the other group you mentioned though.  Thanks!
