Project Prom Offers Girls One Last Chance to Pick a Dress

Project Prom Shop is offering eligible high school girls one last chance to choose a free gown and accessories later this month, the Allegheny County Department of Human Services announced.

Located at the Century III Mall, the Project Prom Shop will be open from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 23.

The one-day extension was added from the original close date of March 16 due to popular demand.

To be eligible, high school girls must live in Allegheny County and meet one of the following eligibility requirements:

• Receive services or have a family member receiving services through DHS.
• Receive or be eligible to receive a free or reduced-price school lunch, or
• Have a parent or caretaker receiving unemployment benefits.

The shop will have new and gently worn dresses available in the latest trends, and in a wide range of sizes.

All of the gowns have been carefully screened to ensure each is clean and undamaged. Accessories, including shoes, purses, wraps and jewelry will also be available to complete the ensemble.
