Affording a dress or suit for prom isn’t easy for every family. That’s why one local church is stepping in to help.

Prom season is here. It's supposed to be a fun time, but for a lot of families, it's too expensive. There's not enough money for dresses, shoes and other accessories.

For more than two decades, members of Woods Chapel United Methodist Church have collected prom dresses and offered them to high school students for free.
