As prom season approaches, one local nonprofit organization—with a mission to eliminate clothing insecurity for all— is offering free prom attire for students in the Philadelphia region.
The Wardrobe will host "Open Wardrobe" prom events on Thursday, April 25, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Philadelphia, Upper Darby, Chester, Exton and Kennett Square.
Students will be able to receive one free prom outfit with accessories while supplies last.
The company said if students need prom attire before the main event, they can make an appointment on The Wardrobe's website and specify that they need a prom appointment.
