The CHS Pop-Up Prom Shop is a beautiful boutique featuring hundreds of new and very gently used gowns, tuxes, suits, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and jewelry. Located inside Columbia High School, students shop for their perfect look, aided by volunteer stylists. Everything in the Prom Shop is free. Last year, the Prom Shop gave away over 300 dresses and suits to students.
The Prom Shop is seeking new or gently used clothing and accessories. Items may be dropped off at Gleason’s Cleaners in Maplewood and Buy Rite Liquors in South Orange.
In addition, they are seeking in-kind donations of hair styling, manicures, cosmetics, flowers, clothing alterations, dry cleaning, and anything else that would help provide a complete prom package to students.
