" Seventeen is back in action with DonateMyDress.org, an organization committed to encouraging young girls to donate their special occasion dresses for those who can&amp;#039;t afford costly gowns. Across the nation, there are local banks where girls can receive or donate dresses. Additionally, Seventeen.com provides DonateMyDress.org with the latest fashion and beauty trends for prom, quincea\u00F1eras, and more to help girls like you plan their dream looks! Whether you&amp;#039;ll be dropping off a gown or receiving one, you can volunteer your time towards the cause! Here are the ways you can get involved: 1. Donate to your local member organization! Find the closest market here. 2. Need a dress? Don&amp;#039;t worry! Find out the information about your local chapter here, and visit their websites for their contact info and market locations. 3. Collect dresses for donation and volunteer at a member organization! 4. Start your own member organization with the helpful dress drive guidebook! Remember to enter your local chapter into the running for the Purple Dress Award. Details about the grant can be found here. 5.
