Prom Dress Drive

Saturday, April 13th from 9:00am - 12:00pm the YAC (Young Adults in Church) will be giving dresses to young girls in the community who may be in need.  The YAC is collecting gently used and cleaned prom style dresses, as well as accessories and shoes.  YAC believes this is a terrific opportunity to recycle prom dresses and to minister to a need in the community. Please drop off your donations in the Parish Hall. If you have no clothes to donate, we are accepting cash donations to help cover the costs of additional dresses, accessories and shoes.  

If you have any questions, please call St. James' Parish at (410)867-2838.
