Dresses will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
High school girls can find the prom dress of their dreams at a “dreamy” price during Moraine Valley Community College’s ninth annual Dream Come True Project. Free new and gently used dresses will be given out on Saturday, April 2, from 9 to 11 a.m., in Building S, Room 117, on campus, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills.
“Over 100 new boutique dresses have been donated, which means girls can wear their own dress on prom night,” said Tianna Richards, coordinator of the Dream Come True Project. “I encourage anyone who needs a dress to come out and see what we have. I think you’ll be happy with what you see.”
Girls who attend the event can sort through hundreds of dresses in all sizes and styles and can try them on in a fitting room. Each girl can take home one dress, including shoes and jewelry, if available. Dresses will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is open to everyone regardless of family income levels.
Dress donations currently are being accepted in the Multicultural Student Affairs Department, S201, on the second floor of Building S. For more information about the Dream Come True Project, call (708) 974-5487 or email richardst27@morainevalley.edu.
