Teresa Allen, Charitable Union CEO tells WOODTV 8,

We have a large selection of dresses available and hope that no student will miss prom because of the cost of a dress.

According to Allen, last year alone the organization gave away 300 dresses!

Who Can Get a Dress?

This offer is available to high school-age students from any location, in any income bracket. Students are not required to have a parent of legal guardian with them at the time they choose their dress, all that is needed is a valid student I.D. card.

When Can You Shop?

Dresses are available now through Wednesday, May 17. The Charitable Union free store is open Mondays through Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m, as well as every second Saturday of the month (April 8 and May 13) from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
