Volunteers, donations needed for Prom

The fairy godmothers of The St. Andrew Prom Closet announce that the 17th Annual Prom Closet is scheduled for February 24 – 28 and March 2 – 5, and 7, at St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano. Girls from anywhere in need of a prom dress are invited to select a dress and accessories — all at no cost. To make these dreams possible, the community is invited to donate dresses (sizes 0–30), jewelry, shoes, handbags and wraps to help complete every girl’s prom look for her special night. For shoppers, appointments are required to improve the overall experience and minimize wait times. Online registration for shoppers as well as volunteers begins January 26. Each shopper must be present to select her own dress and accessories and may have one guest, age 16 or older. A volunteer will assist each girl throughout the process, and there will be 40 shopping spots per each 90-minute time slot. All donations may be dropped off at St. Andrew, 1401 Mira Vista Blvd., just inside the church’s north entry doors on a designated dress rack. Look for the covered walkway leading to the entrance and see the website for specific drop-off hours. To sign up to volunteer, shop or find out more information, visit standrewmethodist.org/prom-closet. For any questions, call the Prom Closet informational hotline at 469-385-1810, or email standrewpromcloset@gmail.com. — Elizabeth Lenart
