2016 Prom Boutique Gown Collection Hosted at Northport's Westy Self Storage

Westy is a designated collection site for donations of new and gently-used prom gowns and bridesmaid dresses.

Westy Self Storage continues its support for the 8th consecutive year of the Prom Boutique sponsored by the Long Island Volunteer Center. Westy Self Storage in East Northport is pleased to host this drive as a designated collection site for donations of new and gently-used prom gowns, bridesmaid dresses, special occasion dresses, shoes, handbags and costume jewelry. The collection will take place on Sunday, April 10, 2016 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.

The Prom Boutique distributes all dresses and accessories free of charge to girls of families across Long Island who cannot easily absorb the expense of a new gown to attend their prom, graduation, sweet sixteen or other significant occasion. Now in its 22nd year, the Prom Boutique has helped thousands of deserving young women feel confident at their special event in the gown of their choice. Please help your community by dropping off a donation at Westy Self Storage in East Northport located at 4049 Jericho Turnpike, across from Barnes and Noble.

“The Prom Boutique is a way to help local young women celebrate these occasions with a beautiful outfit that they would otherwise be unable to obtain,” said Diana O’Neill, Executive Director of Long Island Volunteer Center. “Westy has been a model community partner over the years ensuring that our storage requirements are met and that logistical needs for drop offs and delivery of thousands of donated dresses are accomplished seamlessly. We could not help make prom dreams come true without Westy.”
