The YWCA Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia is gearing up for its annual Prom Dress Sale, which will take place on March 13 and 14, 2024. This popular event aims to provide affordable formalwear to high school students preparing for prom, while also generating funds to support the organization’s various programs.
Event Details and Community Support
Scheduled for two days, the Prom Dress Sale will feature a wide selection of dresses, shoes, and accessories. The YWCA encourages community members to donate gently used formal attire to help meet the demand. As Jennifer Kelly, the HR manager for the YWCA, noted, “Every dress donated makes a difference in helping students feel confident and beautiful on their special night.”
This year’s sale will also benefit from the support of the United Way of Bristol, which is participating in a week of caring initiative. This collaboration allows the YWCA to tackle projects that they may not have been able to complete otherwise, enhancing their capacity to serve the community.
How to Get Involved
The YWCA invites individuals and businesses to contribute by donating formalwear or volunteering their time during the sale. Volunteers will assist with organizing the dresses, helping customers, and ensuring a smooth event. Those interested in volunteering can reach out to the YWCA directly for more information.
As the Prom Dress Sale approaches, the YWCA remains committed to empowering young people in the community. The organization’s efforts not only provide essential resources for students but also foster a sense of unity and collaboration within the community.
