Have a prom dress you won’t dance in again? Recycle it!

| How to help | West Seattle news

From the team at Neighborhood House in High Point:

Prom, as many of you know is a rite of passage for high school youth in America, and one that many youth/families can not afford. So – help us help our girls.

High Point Family Center and YELS are going to host a prom dress ‘clothing fair’ in late April and would love donations of – Prom Dresses (gently used and clean) and Accessories (purses, shawls, hair clips etc). You can drop off your donation at 6400 Sylvan Way SW. … Just remember – your nightmare-inducing mermaid dress just might be a youth’s dream dress!

Optimal times for dropoff times are Monday-Friday 10 am- 4 pm and Saturday 10:30 am-12:30 pm (ask for Aparna or Dena). If you have a question – 206-588-4900, extension 626. (And here’s a map to 6400 Sylvan Way SW.)

Any suggestions on how to gently clean our prom dresses that have been sitting in the closet since the 80’s before donating them? :-)

Ruby Room is another place that has gently used prom dresses for the same reason

Finally! I can just walk up the street to donate my amazing turqoise silk 1988 Senior Prom dress! What’s old is new again, right?
Most of the girls around here are thin enough to fit into it. Ahh, the good ol’ days.

Sorry, comment time is over.
