The mission of Abby’s Closet, an Oregon-based nonprofit, is to inspire confidence and respect in high school women by providing free formal dresses for prom or other memorable events. We’re more than a dress – or really, more than the 40,000 dresses we’ve given away so far – because we’re just as focused on sequins and satin as we are on education, confidence, and inclusiveness.
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.
ABBY’S CLOSET 2 day Prom Dress Giveaway this year is April 5-6, 2025 at the Oregon Convention Center. It's free of charge. More than 7,000 dresses have been donated just for you. We have vintage to brand new, short and long, and sizes 0-20+. If you're a student who wants to attend click here.
We love this event every year and want to get the word out for those who might want to attend or know someone who would. We also hope you'll help Abby's Closet by making a donation, volunteering your time or prom dresses, as well shoes and handbags suitable for Prom.
