Detroit, Michigan – Detroit police are collecting prom attire to support local students ahead of April 4 deadline.
According to a Sunday Facebook post from the Detroit Police Department, the 9th Precinct is asking community members to donate new and gently used prom dresses, shoes and accessories. Officials said all sizes and styles are welcome.
Donations can be dropped off at the 9th Precinct, located at 11187 Gratiot Ave., at any time during the drive. The department said the goal is to help ensure students across the community have access to formalwear for upcoming prom events.
The initiative comes as prom season approaches in the coming months, when many high school students begin preparing for spring dances and related celebrations. The drive may especially benefit students who are balancing school expenses with part-time work or family obligations.
Police officials encouraged residents to check closets for gently used formalwear that could help a student attend prom with confidence. Community members seeking additional information can contact the 9th Precinct directly.
The Detroit Police Department said the effort is part of its continued community outreach programs aimed at supporting local youth and strengthening neighborhood partnerships.
