The Dream Center of Lubbock, a local nonprofit organization that help low income families, recently hosted their “Prom Queen” event. The event invited high school girls from all over the community to come and find their perfect, free prom dress.
“Prom is really expensive, and there are a lot of people who can’t go out and enjoy it because simply it costs too much,” LeighAnn Ramirez, senior assistant for Church On The Rock, said.
After the event, Ramirez said they still had dozens of dresses left over because of the high amount of donations.
“It started out pretty small but now we have over 1,500 dresses,” Ramirez said.
Ramirez said several of the dresses were put into to storage to hold onto for next year’s event, but they did leave dozens inside the Clothes Closet, located at the Dream Center downtown.
“You’re more than welcome to come in and shop in our clothes closet. We’ve set aside a bunch from our stock that we put into our clothes closet for people to come shop at,” Ramirez said.
The organization also takes donations all yearlong. Click HERE for the location and exact donation drop-off times.
