If anyone is interested, a friend of mine sent me this email about a woman she met on the train who is collecting prom/BM dresses for kids who can't afford them.
Don't worry if they are outdated, apparently there are people to "redo" them.
Just in case anyone wants to clean out their closets!

You can drop them off or mail them.

There're being collected and distrubuted by Bronx Community College to a high school
which is actually on their campus.
