Make Prom The Best For Everyone By Donating Dresses In Plano

The Prom Closet, an initiative by St. Andrew Methodist Church, will offer an unforgettable shopping experience for those facing financial challenges in securing a prom dress for the 16th year. With help from volunteers and donations, the Prom Closet is expecting to offer over 4,000 dresses this year. 

What It Is

The Prom Closet, which began in 2009, provides free access to a vast collection of stunning prom dresses in sizes 0-30, along with an array of accessories, including jewelry, shoes, handbags and wraps. With thousands of beautiful dresses to choose from, anyone can find the perfect outfit to make their prom night unforgettable, without having to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress. People come from all over to get dresses. 

“Alexis Taylor traveled from Waco to select her dress,” St. Andrew said on its website. “She said she chose the first one she put on and was grateful for the Prom Closet because it shows that people care for her and are looking out for her. It also helps her mother so she won’t have to spend a lot of money on her for prom.”

How To Donate

Donations can be dropped off at St. Andrew, located at 1401 Mira Vista Blvd., Plano, just inside the church's north entrance on the designated dress rack. Look for the covered walkway and sign to the north entrance. Additionally, for those who prefer to contribute by purchasing items, an Amazon link is available, allowing purchases to be shipped directly to the church.

Drop-off times at the north lobby:
Monday - Thursday | 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Saturdays | 9:00 a.m. - 12 p.m.

What Shoppers Can Expect

To ensure a smooth experience, appointments are required for shoppers to minimize wait times. Online registration for both shoppers and volunteers opens on Jan. 23. Each shopper must be present to select her own dress and accessories and may bring one guest, aged 16 or older. A dedicated volunteer will guide each person throughout the process, and there will be 40 shopping spots available per 90-minute time slot. 

When It Is

The 16th Annual Prom Closet will be held at 1401 Mira Vista Blvd. from Feb. 18-20, Feb. 22 and Feb. 24 – March 1, 2025, at St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano.
