Pennsylvania police department collecting prom dresses

(HAZLETON, PA) – A police department in Pennsylvania is hoping to collect more prom dresses. 

Hazleton Police are hosting the donation drive in order to provide less fortunate students with prom dresses. 

“I don’t want a girl to put on a dress and say, ‘well this is all I had so this is what I wore,’” said Hazleton City Police PIO Jessica Surkin. 

“This allows them that opportunity to have a selection and pick the dress that feels the best,” she added. 

So far, they have over four racks of prom dresses that are available and students can begin trying them on in early March.
