Wind Creek Event Center<\/a> in Bethlehem. Preregistrations are closed, but people can come on the day of the event and give organizers their information.<\/p>\nPeople are free to shop the dresses and try them on. The prom attire will cost $20. With a grant from Kiwanis, students can get vouchers to help offset that cost.<\/p>\n
In addition to dresses, the shop offers accessories, makeup, and goodie bags.<\/p>\n
Young people and their parents, along with volunteers, make the pop-up shop possible, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marrero said\u00a0YWCA Bethlehem serves an average of 170 families a year through the pop-up prom shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Organizers accumulated the gowns that will be available at this Saturday’s event through donations over the last few months, beginning in November. Multiple partners have helped with donation drives.<\/p>\n
Wind Creek and Highmark Blue Shield are sponsoring the event.<\/p>\n
Aliya Ali, an Administrative Support Specialist, said people come from all over for the shop.<\/p>\n
“It’s just really impactful” to see the girls come in, try on dresses, and not have to worry about the cost, Ali said.<\/p>\n
Ali said almost 1,000 dresses are available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Say yes to the dress without saying no to the price tag!
