With prom just around the corner, EVSC Foundation is helping students by hosting a no-cost formal dress giveaway. Students are invited to a day of shopping with friends and a selection of over 1,000 beautiful dresses—all donated by the community. Students can shop for a dress on any of the following “Blitz†days: March 7, 14, 21, and April 4 (9 am – 1 pm) at Academy of Innovative Studies (former North High School). Use door 27.
Although the Hangers program provides service exclusively to EVSC students, this event will be open to students from surrounding counties. For non-EVSC student shoppers, Hangers asks for a $20 donation in exchange for a dress.
Since March 2018, over 700 students have hand-picked a dress from Hangers for a dance or other special occasion. For interested donors, this is an opportunity to free up closet space and support young people. Hangers accepts donations of dresses or gently-used clothing all year long, Monday – Thursday (8 am to 12 pm). Individuals may drop off donations at Hangers, located behind the Academy for Innovative Studies Diamond (use entrance on Wedeking Ave).
