Prom Beach is a West Palm Beach, Florida 501(c)(3) that provides free formal wear to teens from low- and no-income families across South Florida. Teens are referred through partner child-services organizations and visit the Prom Beach showroom at 5840 Corporate Way to select gowns, suits, and accessories at no cost. The boutique operates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the formal-event season and is closed in summer. Donations of dresses and special-event wear are accepted in person; monetary donations are accepted via PayPal, credit/debit card, and Zelle at (561) 502-3486.
Sep-May is when Prom Beach 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.
No. Prom Beach collects drop-off and serves South Florida. If you are outside that area, look for a program closer to you, or use one of the 7 programs in this directory that accept mail-in donations from anywhere.
Prom Beach is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations to registered charities are generally tax deductible if you itemize, and the organization can issue a receipt. Ask them directly for their EIN and a written acknowledgement if you plan to claim the donation on your taxes.
This listing is marked Verified Org and was last reviewed on May 18, 2026.

Programs change hours, addresses, and intake windows without notice, so check their own site before you travel or ship.
