Looking ahead to Prom Shop 2027 ... 

Wondering what to do with that magical dress that won't be worn again? How about the tuxedo or suit your teen, college student, or young adult outgrew? Reclaim your closet space — and help make CHS students' prom dreams come true! 

 

In January 2027, we'll begin collecting teen-approved, prom-appropriate formalwear at locations throughout Maplewood and South Orange.

 

Then, in April 2027, we'll need volunteers to sort, set up, and help students shop. Love to organize? Got a knack for finding the perfect look? Handy with a needle and thread? There's a role for everyone. 

 

Thank you for your support!
