Abby's Closet

In March 2012, over 3,700 young women received beautiful formal gowns to wear to their school proms or as candidates for Rose Festival Princess or the Miss Black Oregon Scholarship Pageant.  If you have feedback or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.  Please send comments and pictures to:  promgowns@abbyscloset.org

COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE GOWN GIVEAWAY EVENT:“This had to have been one of the best days of my life.  As a volunteer, I felt that I owed the girls what I received.  Thank you.  I definitely will do this next year.”

“This place really makes prom dreams come true.”

“Thank you so much.  Do you realize that half these girls, without you, would not be going to prom just because they couldn’t afford a dress?  I was one of them.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart”

“Thank you Abby’s Closet.  You blessed me with an amazing dress.  God bless you.  This encouraged me to do anything and help others, because you have helped me.”

“OMG!  You guys are amazing.  You really helped me out so much. Thank you.  I could say a million things, but I think that with all the smiles you guys saw, you got the idea of how grateful we are.  Again, thank you sooo much.”

“This was my first Abby’s Closet experience as a high school senior, and it was amazing.  Everyone was so friendly, and the environment was extremely positive. Good for the self esteem.  Also, the seamstresses there to help were awesome.  They were nice and fixed my dress.  I will definitely be recommending this to my sister and her friends when they have prom.  I would love to help volunteer for this organization some day.  Thank you!”
