**Due to the Covid19 outbreak Abby's Closet decided to CANCEL the 16th Annual Prom Dress Giveaway, scheduled for March 14-15, 2020 at the Oregon Convention Center. The decision was made out of concern for the safety and well being of attendees, staff and volunteers. At this time, our Clubhouse where we store our dresses is closed. Our organization wants to do everything we can to prevent the spread of the Covid19.

We are already looking forward to next year’s event! Please see the information below and mark your calendars.

More than 7,000 dresses have been donated just for you. We have vintage to brand new, short and long, and sizes 0-20+. Abby’s Closet believes all high school students should be able to attend Prom, an important rite of passage, without worrying about the cost! Save your money for life after high school. We are welcoming to people of different gender identities, abilities, sizes and socioeconomic status. The goal of Abby’s Closet is to make every participant feel special, beautiful and confident.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW:

Upon arrival you will be asked to show proof of high school enrollment (student ID card, school letterhead, online portal, etc.) and given a numbered wristband. You are welcome to hang out at the Oregon Convention Center or leave and follow us on social media @abbysclosetpdx to be notified when your number is called.
