For the past 12 prom seasons, the Enchanted Closet has outfitted more than 5,000 metro Atlanta girls in need for special occasions. During the Prom Dress Giveaway, the Enchanted Closet offers a boutique-style setting and provides personal shoppers – people who are volunteers – to help each girl choose that perfect dress, accessories and makeup for their special night. The Enchanted Closet services young ladies living in East Atlanta and the 14 plus surrounding areas.
The Enchanted Closet is collecting donations of prom attire and accessories to help outfit girls. The organization needs new or gently used formal dresses that are clean, in good condition and teen appropriate. Dresses size 14 and up are really in need as nearly half of the girls registered for this year’s Prom Dress Giveaway requires this size range.

“The Enchanted Closet believes that no girl should miss out on the chance to attend her high school prom simply because she could not afford a dress,” said Bonita Johnson, Enchanted Closet President and CEO. “A large number of Atlanta teenagers today are being raised by single parents, grandparents and others on a fixed income. With the Atlanta community’s help, we want to outfit as many young ladies in need of a dress as we possibly can.”
