JBLM-Operation Deploy Your Dress

JBLM-Operation Deploy Your Dress JBLM-Operation Deploy Your Dress is brought to the JBLM community with special thanks to the SCLM. Balls are a significant part of our rich military history.

These formal events are intended to honor important traditions while building unit cohesion and camaraderie amongst soldiers, spouses, and honored guests. Many of our soldiers (especially those that are of junior rank) and their families are on very tight budgets. In an effort to make attending the military ball as affordable as possible for them, we are seeking donations of gently used formal wea

r. If you happen to have any prom/ bridesmaid dresses or other formal gowns that you never wear (or plan to wear), we would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating! All sizes and styles welcome. Also, we will happily accept any formal wear accessories such as jewelry, shoes, purses, etc. Thank you in advance for your consideration to support this effort! Additionally, if you have any friends, family members, or other connections that may be interested in helping out please pass this info on. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us! Please mail donations to:

ODYD provides free formal gowns to military ID cardholders to make it easier for our service members and their spouses to attend military balls. We rely solely on donations and volunteer time to make this program possible. Each military ID cardholder (including dependent children) can choose one gown and one accessory per calendar year for their personal use.

Additional information about our program can be found by clicking the blue ‘learn more’ button under the cover photo at the top of the page. Shop hours are posted on a monthly basis and will be pinned to the top of the page.
