An area mom has come up with a different way to help families still affected by Hurricane Sandy.
A former Howell resident has Facebook to thank for her out-of-the-box fundraiser to benefit families affected by Hurricane Sandy.

From now until March 15 the PAL is asking people to donate prom dresses or tuxedoes that the younger residents can use.
