Donate Dresses

Hope Closet is a non-profit organization that accepts donated used (must be dry cleaned/no stains/no tears) prom dresses, formals and bridesmaid dresses along with shoes, purses and jewelry to donate to high school girls so they can attend their proms. Girls only have to show school ID or a report card indicating they are currently enrolled in school to be able to shop at Hope Closet.

Unless otherwise noted, all Teen programs are for sixth through twelfth grades only! Why? Programs are developed and geared toward this age group. Please make other arrangements for younger siblings. Programs are free.
