PITTSBURGH – The Department of Human Services (DHS) will hold its annual Project Prom giveaway of prom attire for eligible high school students. The gown giveaway kickoff begins on Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Project Prom Shop, 10 Duff Road, Penn Hills.
The gown giveaway continues Monday, March 27, from 3 to 7 p.m., Thursday, March 30, from 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests must register in advance for an available timeslot and are asked to bring only one friend or family member to accompany them.
To be part of Project Prom, high school students must live in Allegheny County and qualify for a free or reduced school lunch. A student is also eligible if a household member is on active military duty or a veteran.
There will be an assortment of free, currently styled dresses of all sizes and colors available. Teens will be able to select from brand-new and gently used gowns. Dresses have been made available thanks to generous donations from residents, local dress shops One Enchanted Evening in Zelienople and DressHaute at South Hills Village, and online store Sydney’s Closet. There will also be a selection of shoes and accessories to accompany the dresses. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with the shopping experience.
