Got A 'Gently Used' Prom Dress? Donate It To The Princess Project
STANFORD (CBS SF) -- Prom time is coming soon to high schools across the Bay Area but for some girls, getting a new dress is a financial challenge. To help them, The Princess Project collects and gives away 'gently used' gowns to teens who can't afford to new dress.
The non-profit's Silicon Valley chapter has set up a dress donation location at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto that will remain open through Monday March 7. The group is also accepting dress donations at the San Francisco Embarcadero Center through March 23.
Dresses should be prom-appropriate, size 0-30, in good condition, clean and on hangers.
Princess Project Silicon Valley will soon host a giveaway event where girls can try on the gowns and take them home. For upcoming dates, registration information and more, check out the organization's website and Facebook page.
The Princess Project Silicon Valley was started in 2006 and has "frocked and bedazzled" more than 10,000 teens since.
