Have a dress? Donations and other spring news!

MAY 2022

Spring is flying by and already schools are wrapping up proms. Don't let that dress just hang in your closet - donate it to Abby's Closet!

We are already gathering donations for the 2023 Prom Dress Giveaway and need formal dresses and fancy shoes (in excellent condition only please). For more information on what, how and where to donate, visit our website. And a huge thank you to the many businesses and locations around the metro area who serve as drop off spots for our donations. They are all a vital part of our organization! If your business would like to be a drop off location, please contact us. We could especially use more drop off locations in the Vancouver area.

And be sure to watch our website and follow us on social media (@abbysclosetpdx) for the announcement of the 2023 date - Coming Soon!

Thank you and happy spring!

Our SAB members rock!

Each year we are delighted to work with an amazing group of young women from high schools in Oregon and Washington as part of our Student Advisory Board. This group meets regularly to assist Abby's Closet with public relations and fundraising efforts. The SAB also brings energy and fun to our annual Prom Dress Giveaway and acts in an advisory capacity to the Abby’s Closet Board of Directors.

Know a high schooler who may be interested in participating in the 2022-23 Student Advisory Board? Watch our website for more details and how to apply in the next couple of months. For more information, contact Samantha Willis.

Thank you volunteers!

Thank you to the many volunteers who step up in various roles throughout the year to keep Abby's Closet working so efficiently. Our donation pick-up team has been working overtime and we cannot function without them - thank you! And a huge thank you to the Portland, Lake Oswego, and Blue Heron chapters of National Charity League for assisting with behind the scenes work at the Prom Dress Giveaway, making empowerment cards throughout the year, and helping at Clubhouse work parties. Abby's Closet is stronger than ever thanks to the volunteers who continually support us! Thank you!
