The Women’s Service League of NCW (WSL) is getting ready to make magic for local high school girls. This weekend, Saturday, March 21st, and Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, the non-profit will host its annual Prom Dress Giveaway at the former Veterans’ Warehouse building in North Avenue Plaza, 1219 N. Wenatchee Ave.—right across from the Buzz Inn and next to the Red Lion Hotel.

A Dress for Every Girl

Hundreds of beautiful prom dresses—new and gently used—have been collected by devoted WSL volunteers and are ready for young women from all across North Central Washington, from Wenatchee to Omak, Cashmere to Moses Lake, and even farther. There’s a dress for everyone, in every size, color, and style, plus shoes and accessories to match.

Personal Touches and Friendly Support

Seamstresses will be on hand to make small adjustments—like hemming or fixing straps—so each girl leaves feeling comfortable and confident. Friendly volunteers will help with choices, making the experience fun and stress-free.

Open to All: How to Attend

The event is free and open to all high school students in the region. Just bring your student ID for entry. Last year, 325 girls came and 243 found their perfect dress, turning prom dreams into reality. This Saturday (March 21st) and Sunday (March 22nd) at the former Veterans’ Warehouse building in North Avenue Plaza, 1219 N. Wenatchee Ave.
