24th Annual Prom Boutique Collection Underway
drop-off locations thru March 25 across Long Island
With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time for the women of Long Island to band together and rid their closets and drawers of unneeded fancy dresses, shoes and accessories, as the collection drive is underway for the 24th Annual Prom Boutique. The donation drop-off deadline is March 25.
Each year, the Long Island Volunteer Center, in conjunction with Nassau Community College, coordinates the collection and distribution of new and gently-used prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses and accessories (including dressy shoes, evening bags and costume jewelry) to assist thousands of young Long Island women who cannot absorb expenses associated with prom, awards ceremonies or graduation.
