Prom Boutique Collection: Dress & Accessories Donation THIS SUNDAY
Garden City, NY – This spring, Nassau Community College will host the “Prom Boutique,” a program in which individuals and businesses donate new or gently used prom and bridesmaid dresses for distribution to deserving young women. The Long Island Volunteer Center, C.W. Post and The Junior League of Long Island co-sponsor the Prom Boutique.
Students from the NCC Marketing & Fashion programs will be on hand with members of the Long Island Volunteer Center at five different sites in Nassau county on Sunday, April 23 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to collect dresses and accessories such as shoes, evening bags and costume jewelry. The five sites are:
- Garden City Stitches, 725 Franklin Avenue, Garden City
- The Concierge Desk at Americana Shopping Center, 2060 Northern Blvd., Manhasset
- Mulcahy’s, 3232 Railroad Ave., Wantagh
- St. John’s Episcopal Church, Route 25A, Cold Spring Harbor (behind Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery)
- Junior League of Long Island Thrift Shop, 1395 Old Northern Boulevard, Roslyn
All new or gently used dresses and accessories collected will be distributed to invited guests only at an event called the “Prom Boutique” which will be held at Nassau Community College in late April. Individuals recommended by high school guidance counselors, at-risk youth programs, group homes and church outreach programs are invited to the Prom Boutique. Nearly 1,000 young women from different schools and organizations across Long Island have benefited from this program.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Receipts for contributions will be available at the drop-off sites.

I will be at the Jr. League location on Sunday helping collect dresses.
This is a great way to get rid of those never to be worn again bridesmaid and formal dresses!

Thank you for posting this! I'll be thrilled to get rid of all of my "event" dresses (and the stash at my parents' house). More space and for a very worthy cause!

Oh, I've given in the past. It feels so good to think you are making a young girl feel special and give her the ability to go to the prom. I always wonder who is wearing my old dresses.
I was the last one to get married so I don't think I'll have anything to give for a while.
