FORT MADISON – Volunteers with the SDA Community Service Center, along with some local community members, are excited to announce that Our PROMise, a prom assistance program for teens in need, will take place for the fifth year starting on April 9th.
This program has been a blessing to local teens who prepare to go to prom. Our PROMise collects donations of gently used prom dresses and accessories for teens to come and “shop” for their prom attire for free. The only stipulation is that they ask the dress is returned to be used again for future proms.
The group is collecting donations again this year at the SDA Community Service Center, located on 17th Street between Avenues H and I. They are open for drop-offs on Mondays from 10 am to 1 pm and on Tuesdays from 9 am to 4 pm. Drop-offs at other times can be arranged by calling Shayla Blackburn at 319-371-7465. All gently used prom dresses, shoes, and accessories will be accepted. There is a need for dresses that are 2X/Size 18 and up.
Special thanks to Jim Cobb and The Plaza for the use of the space in their building!
