Help a Young Girl Attend Prom! Donate a Formal Gown



Calling all women! Do you have a formal dress in like-new condition that’s taking up space in your closet? Were you recently a bridesmaid in a wedding and you no longer have a use for that fancy taffeta or chiffon dress? Make a young girl’s day brighter by donating your gown to The Princess Project.


The Princess Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides free prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who cannot otherwise afford them. Thanks to the gracious efforts of hundreds of volunteers, donors, and corporate partners, thousands of young women are able to attend prom. The Princess Project outfitted more than 18,000 young women since 2002, and the numbers continue to grow.

Margaret’s Cleaners is proud to be part of this effort. Drop off your formal gown and/or accessories at any Margaret’s Cleaners location (see below).

Donation Guidelines:
  • Dresses MUST be from 2006 to present.
  • Dresses MUST be dry-cleaned and on hangers.
  • Dresses MUST be prom dresses, formal gowns or fancy party dresses.
  • Accessories MUST be stylish, clean and in excellent condition.
The Princess Project cannot accept:
  • Garments that are out of style (i.e., purchased before 2006)
  • Garments that have not been dry-cleaned
  • Shoes
  • Make-up
  • Casual or semi-formal clothing
  • Wedding dresses
  • Tuxedos or men's clothing
