About The Ruby Room
The Ruby Room provides formal attire to teens in financial need, enabling them to participate in their high school community. The organization also provides leadership and education through volunteer opportunities and workshops.
The Ruby Room was founded in 2002 by Nyla Bittermann and Kristen Corning. It all started with eight volunteers working out of an office in Queen Anne and is now going strong on Capital Hill with over 100 volunteers.
