The Sister to Sister Prom Shop at Project Self-Sufficiency will be open at the Newton campus, 127 Mill Street, in late March and early April.

The Prom Shop doesn’t only cater to teens on big night. Formal wear at the shop includes prom dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses, gowns for mothers-of-the-bride, evening bags, jewelry, wraps and shawls, as well as shoes in good condition. Some items are new and are all available at no charge. All items are displayed in a boutique-like setting with fitting rooms available. The Prom Shop will be open from March 28, 29, 30, 31 and April 4, 5, 6 from 3 to 6 p.m. and on April 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency commented: “We believe that every young woman deserves the chance to have a beautiful dress for that special, once-in-a-lifetime event. Thanks to generous donations from the community, we are fortunate to have hundreds of beautiful items in our collection again this year.”

The organization is also seeking volunteer help for the shop. Volunteer hours available are 2 to 6 p.m., March 28 through 31, April 4 through 6 and 8 a.m.to 1 p.m., April 2.
