Individuals and businesses alike can drop off new or gently used dresses, along with accessories, such as jewelry, shoes, purses, and wraps, at participating Comerica locations to benefit southeast Michigan<\/span> students.<\/p>\n

For the second-consecutive year, Comerica will accept donations of dresses and accessories over a four-week span. Last year’s four-week prom dress drive garnered a record total of over 2,600 dresses donated.<\/p>\n

“The response by our customers, colleagues and community to support our annual prom dress drive has been quite remarkable,” said Steve Davis<\/span>, Comerica Bank Michigan Market President. “We appreciate everyone who helps make both the Prom Dress Drive and Jackets For Job Prom Dress Boutique possible. The generous donations and volunteer assistance positively impacts youth in our area, and we look forward to making this spring memorable for many teens in our community.”<\/p>\n

This year marks Comerica’s third year donating dresses and accessories to Jackets for Jobs, a Detroit<\/span>-based nonprofit that focuses on career development and removes barriers by providing high-quality clothing that makes clients look and feel professional to support workplace success. This year, Jackets for Jobs celebrates 25 years serving the community.<\/p>\n

“Over the past two years, we have seen numerous teens and their families feel a great sense of relief knowing that they are able to enjoy one of the most memorable events of a high schooler’s life with less stress by removing many barriers that exist,” said Alison Vaughn<\/span>, Jackets for Jobs Founder and Executive Director. “To see their reaction and emotions, in addition to their families’ reaction, when they know they have the right dress and accessories is truly a heartwarming moment knowing that they can experience these special moments.”<\/p>\n

As a result of last year’s record prom dress drive and to extend the outreach to support youth in the community, Comerica partnered with Jackets For Jobs in hosting the first annual Homecoming Dress Boutique giveaway in September. It was the third dress boutique in two years that supported teens in Detroit<\/span> and from several southeast Michigan<\/span> communities.<\/p>\n

Over the previous six Prom Dress Drives, Comerica has collected more than 10,000 dresses, including last year’s record total, to help local teens experience the high school tradition of prom.<\/p>\n
