Prom Shop 2011 on April 11th helps kids afford to go to prom

City of Shoreline Teen Program in partnership with The WORKS to host Prom Shop 2011.

Prom Shop 2011 is the first annual free prom clothing give away for teens in the Shoreline area. All teens should have the opportunity to experience prom and one of the challenges that prevents them from going is the high cost of formal wear. 

The Shoreline Teen program has partnered with The WORKS to provide an opportunity for teens to come and browse for donated formal clothing. On Monday April 11th The Richmond Highlands Recreation Center will be transformed into a department store where teens can come and find the perfect outfit for their prom night.

"We are still looking for formal clothing donations, especially for the young men. A short list is provided below. You can donate to The WORKS on Wednesdays; let them know it’s for the Prom Shop."

The WORKS is a Shoreline PTA Council family resource. The WORKS accepts washed, gently used children’s and teen clothing, clean shoes, purses and backpacks Wednesday evenings 5:30-8:00 pm at the sorting room located in the south portable at North City Elementary. 

If you are unable to drop off donations on Wednesdays call the Shoreline PTA Council info line 206-393-4916 and leave a message for The WORKS. Someone will contact you to make arrangements for a special drop off time.
