Nassau Community College, Long Island Volunteer Center hold event

With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time for the women of Long Island to donate fancy dresses, shoes and accessories to the Nassau Community College/Long Island Volunteer Center 25th annual Prom Boutique. The donation drop-off deadline is Sunday, March 3.

Each year, the Long Island Volunteer Center in conjunction with the Fashion & Marketing Department at Nassau Community College, collects new and gently-used prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses and accessories (including dressy shoes, evening bags and costume jewelry) to assist thousands of young Long Island women in need to attend their prom, awards ceremonies or graduation.

The program, which relies heavily on the donation of dresses and accessories (especially in need of sizes 16-28), is made available at no cost through the outreach efforts of high school guidance counselors, at-risk youth agencies, group homes, churches and other community organizations that benefit youth. Nearly 100 area businesses, numerous local organizations and hundreds of individuals volunteer their time and provide funding and resources annually. Monetary donations can be made at www.livc.org/prom.

The Prom Boutique was created at the Junior League of Long Island in 1995 and was added to the array of community service projects at the Long Island Volunteer Center in 1999. Nassau Community College has been involved and hosted the event for the past 15 years. Students in the Fashion and Marketing Program create a pop-up retail store to host the event. More information about this program is available at 516-564-5482 or www.longislandvolunteercenter.org.
