For the 2nd year in a row, Palomar College Library, in conjunction with Vista Public Library, will be collecting gently used prom dresses for area teens. The library will be collecting dresses between March 31st and April 15th. On April 16th, dresses will be “shopped” at the Vista Library by students from area high schools. Preregistration is necessary to shop for a dress.
Donors are requested to bring dresses to the library on a hanger in a plastic cleaner bag, if possible.
Donations of prom shoes and jewelry are also being requested.
Last year, the Palomar Community provided over 30 dresses for the drive. Dresses that are not selected by prom goers are donated to the Armed Services YMCA at Camp Pendleton.
Please contact Kathrine Gannett in the library for additional information at extension 2613.
