Donate Your Gently Worn Prom and Semi-Formal Dresses
Arcadia University asks community to donate gently worn formal and semi-formal dresses to benefit area high school students.

This year, Arcadia University will host a semi-formal and formal dress sale to benefit area high school students, and we need your help. By donating your gently worn prom and semi-formal dresses, you're helping students have affordable quality dresses that make them feel special on their special night. Additionally, proceeds from the sale will go to The Covenant House, a non-profit organization that provides shelter and support services for homeless and displaced adolescents.
Donated dresses should be:
- Recently cleaned
- Less than seven years old
- Short or long dresses.
Dresses can be donated at the following locations from Dec. 2 to Jan. 24:
