2025 Dress Drive Starts February 3rd!
Belle of the Ball cleans and distributes prom dresses and provides related accessories at no charge to high school junior and senior girls who would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend their school’s prom.
Local students in need are referred by a network of local schools, nonprofits, and social service agencies. Qualifying students are invited to a one-day event where they have the opportunity to shop for a prom dress and accessories free of charge.
Winter coat collection: October 7 – January 5
Coats for Kids and Families is New England’s leading coat drive for children and adults. Anton’s professionally cleans all donated coats before distributing them through a network of local distribution partners.
The mission is simple, “Anyone who needs a coat will have one. Since the program began in 1995, we’ve collected, cleaned and distributed over one million coats to local families in need.
