The YIT Prom Dress closet is ready to go again! We currently have a large selection of dresses available at the office for free. These will be exclusively held for YIT Youth until February 17th, following then the dresses will be offered to the MYOI and DHHS Communities. After March 3rd they will be donated to a local program. We will be working to catalog the dresses and will send out the catalog to be able to easily flip through the dresses and know the size, color and brand. Please reach out to myself or Morgan to schedule a time to come in and check them out if you're interested!
