With prom season right around the corner, several organizations and businesses across Eastern Idaho are stepping up to make sure every student has the chance to dress up for the big night—without the big price tag.

Prom can be one of the most memorable experiences of high school, but for many families, the cost of formalwear can be a challenge. That’s why local schools and community partners are offering free or low-cost options for students in need—while also encouraging others to give back.

The College of Eastern Idaho Center for New Directions is collecting gently used prom dresses, men’s suits, and ties. The program aims to support individuals working toward new opportunities by helping ease the financial burden of special events like prom.
