Help Students in Need by Donating Prom Dresses for the Ocean County Library’s Annual Prom Dress Giveaway

TOMS RIVER – Do you or someone you know have a new or lightly used gown or formal dress? The Ocean County invites you to help students experience the magic of prom night by donating your dresses during our 2026 Prom Dress Collection, running Friday, January 2 to Thursday, February 26.

The collection precedes the annual Prom Dress Giveaway, which will begin in early March. Donations will be given free of charge to students in grades 8 through 12, regardless of financial circumstances.

You can bring your donation(s) to any of the Ocean County Library’s 21 branches or reading centers. Short and long styles within the past five years are especially sought. Donors are asked to contribute dry cleaned items ready for prom wear. No accessories, shoes, or purses can be accepted.

OCL turned 100 this year and you’re why we’re celebrating! See details on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Spotify, Pinterest and theoceancountylibrary.org.
