✨ One Dress. Endless Possibilities.

That dress hanging in the back of your closet may have been worn for just one special night. By donating it to the Wells County Prom Dress Exchange, you're giving another student the opportunity to make memories, celebrate with friends, and feel their best on prom night.

We gratefully accept donations of gently used formal dresses and accessories throughout the year at the Wells County Foundation.

Thank you for helping make prom more affordable for local students. 💜

💃 1990s – Sleek satin gowns and minimalist styles.
💃 2000s – Bright colors, sequins, and halter necklines.

👗 Behind the Seams | How We Organize 500+ Dresses

Ever wondered how shoppers are able to find the perfect dress during the Prom Dress Exchange? It starts long before the event.

Every donated dress is carefully looked over, sorted by size and organized on racks so students can easily browse styles that fit them best. It's a big job, but taking the time to organize everything helps create a stress-free and enjoyable shopping experience.

When the doors open, our goal is for every student to feel like they're shopping in a boutique—not digging through piles of dresses.

A big thank you to the volunteers who make it all happen!

Have you ever wondered what happens after a dress is donated to the Prom Dress Exchange?
✨ A community member donates a dress.
✨ Volunteers sort, organize, and prepare it for the event.
✨ Students browse hundreds of beautiful options and find a dress they love.
✨ A new memory is created on prom night.

What starts as a dress hanging in a closet becomes confidence, excitement, and a special experience for another student.

That's the power of paying it forward.

Donate gently used dresses, shoes, and accessories at the Wells County Foundation, 222 W Market Street, Bluffton.

Every dress in the Prom Dress Exchange has a story.

It may have been worn for a special night, celebrated in photos, and carefully tucked away afterward.

When it's donated, that story doesn't end—it continues.

A second student gets the opportunity to create memories of her own, and one dress becomes part of two special moments.

That's what makes the Prom Dress Exchange so meaningful.

💜 Thank you to everyone who donates, volunteers, and supports this program.

Every dress has a story, and this month's featured colors show star-spangled style in every shade of celebration!

From bold and vibrant to soft and elegant, ladies looking for a dress will no doubt find one that reflects their personal style.

💃 If you've recently attended prom and have a dress you'd be willing to share, consider donating it to the Prom Dress Exchange so it can help create another special memory in the future.
