Have a heart Time to start, donating your gently used prom dresses!

The South Brunswick High School Viking Closet is having its 4th Annual "Sisterhood of the Traveling Prom Dress" Drive!

We begin taking donations on January 5th and continue through February 5th.

In preparation for the SBHS Viking Closet Prom event, the Viking Closet will be accepting donations of prom/semi formal dresses, jewelry, purses, and shoes. The donations can be dropped off in the main lobby of South Brunswick High School during school hours in our donation bin.

Last year the drive was a huge success. We received more than 350 dresses! More than 100 girls received the dress of their dreams, for free! Our remaining dresses were donated to Carteret High School and some even traveled to Ecuador!
