Family Life - Kids

Photo by Anita Patterson, via MorguefileProm is just around the corner and so are boxes of dresses for girls who can't afford gorgeous gowns for their big night.

Saying they hope other girls will get the same enjoyment from their special prom dress, teens are donating them to the 18th annual Prom Boutique, a New York charity program that once a year outfits girls in need.

Each teen gets a free dress and matching accessories. More than 1,300 girls benefited last year.

You can donate your formal wear before April 22 at collections sites around Long Island. (See the list here)

Testimonials

After being in several very depressing conversations with seemingly EVERYONE about the high price of gas, the state of the economy and upcoming presidential election, I don't think I've even smiled in a few days - until I found your site... You've gently reminded me that there is a lot in the world to smile about. Perspective is everything, and despite what appears in mainstream news, good does happen - a lot more than I was lead to believe. - Stacey Long, Hayward, CA
