Visit projectselfsufficiency.org for donation drop-off details and the current prom-shop dates.
Jan-Apr is when Sister-to-Sister Prom Shop runs its giveaway, meaning the window when students shop for a dress, not necessarily a donation deadline. Formalwear programs commonly accept donations year round even though they distribute in a narrow spring window, and the most useful time to donate is right after prom, when dresses are current and in good condition. Confirm intake timing with the program before you drive over.
