Project Prom is Back! And We’re Looking for Donations

It's coming up on prom season, and SoJO is on a mission to help South Jersey teens in need find their perfect prom dress at no cost! But first, we need your help.

Project Prom 2020, where local teens can shop for and take home a free gown, takes place March 13-16 at Kensington Furniture in Northfield.

All gowns are welcome, but this year, there's a specific need for plus-size gowns (sizes 12 and up) and accessories, like shoes, jewelry, and evening bags.

If you have one or more gently worn formal gowns (prom, bridesmaid, etc.) that you would like to donate to Project Prom, there are three area drop-off locations:

• Kensington Furniture, 200 Tilton Road, Northfield
• Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, 9218 Ventnor Avenue, Margate
• JCC of Margate, 501 North Jerome Avenue, Margate

If you are a vendor (boutique owner, etc.) who would like to donate gowns to the Project Prom effort, please contact Rene Kane at 609-703-8592, or CLICK HERE.

If you're a student in Atlantic, Cape May, or Cumberland County in need of a gown for prom, CLICK HERE for more info.

And, if you'd like to be a Project Prom volunteer, click here!
