Whether you’re dreaming of a classic ball gown or a trendy cocktail dress, you’re likely to find it here.
How Donations Work
. It’s truly heartwarming to see the community come together for this worthwhile cause. The center is not just focused on fancy dresses; it operates a free grocery market to tackle food insecurity and offers clothing and financial assistance to those in need. If you or anyone you know has formalwear they’d like to donate—be it dresses, tuxedos, suits, shoes, or accessories—donations are being accepted until the event itself, as well as at the center’s office leading up to the boutique.
A Community Affair
Local businesses are stepping up to support this event, including Williamsburg Jewelers, Morrison Flowers & Gifts, Swan Cleaners, James City County Parks & Recreation, FISH Williamsburg, and Williamsburg House of Mercy. This collaboration shows just how much local teamwork matters in making the Prom Boutique a reality.
Students will find dresses neatly organized by size and color, while shoes are sorted by style and size. This organizational effort is made possible thanks to the hard work of community volunteers who clearly believe in helping our youth feel and look their best for prom.
Making an Appointment
If you’re a student or a parent of a student looking to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity, be sure to make an appointment. You can call 757-887-1100 or shoot an email to [email protected] for all the details. Trust us, you won’t want to miss out on this chance to grab your dream outfit!
Looking Ahead
The Grove Christian Outreach Center isn’t stopping at just this event; they have plans for more community initiatives to spread the word about other local nonprofits. It’s all about coming together to support one another in any way possible. For additional information about this incredible organization, you can visit groveoutreach.com.
