Prom Dress Drive Underway In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ— Some students spend their whole high school careers looking forward to prom night, when they can dress up and dance with friends. For others, that same night can cause anxiety over the costs, especially when it comes to dresses.

A local organization is looking to make it easier for underprivileged students to attend prom worry free with a Prom Dress Drive.

Morristown High School's Colonial Closet is collecting gently used or new formal dresses of any length, dress shoes and accessories, or monetary donations during March.

All donations can be dropped off at Morristown High School (50 Early Street) by the end of March.

The Colonial Closet was established in 2015 to help Morristown students who are struggling economically. They also collect basic necessities, food, and clothing.

You can check out their website here.

Questions about the prom drive can be emailed to the school's social worker, Michele Lombardi (michele.lombardi@msdk12.net). Cash donations can be made by contacting the committee head, Maura Doherty (MDoherty@us.loreal.com).
