Prom Dress Giveaway Hosted By Southold Town

Need a dress for a prom, formal, or military ball? No problem. A great new giveaway will ensure every girl has the experience of a lifetime.

SOUTHOLD, NY — Prom is a forever memory for high school students. But with escalating costs including pricey dresses and tuxedos, those dreams may be painfully out of reach for some.

To that end, the Town of Southold Youth Bureau is hosting its 1st Annual Dress Giveaway.

Young women in need of a prom dress, a gown for a military ball, or an outfit semi-formal can reach out to see new and "like new" choices.

Both new and like new dresses donations are also being accepted.
