Click here for an inside look at the Woods Chapel Church Prom Boutique!

WCC hosts a Prom Boutique each spring for over 1,000 area-wide teen girls. New or gently-used formal dresses are provided free of charge to local high school girls who are unable to purchase their own prom dress. The dresses are sorted by size and the girls are able to try them on in private areas. A team of skilled seamstresses is on hand to ensure that each dress fits just right.

Get involved!

Donate items for the boutique: new or nearly-new clean prom and bridesmaid dresses, size 0 to plus sizes; evening bags, prom-style jewelry, undergarments (strapless bras, body shapers, etc), make up samples and dressy shoes. Place donations in the marked bin outside the Missions Room.
