Ladies Initiating Giving - an Honored Tradition
Wells County Prom Dress Exchange
The Prom Dress Exchange is a project of LiGHT (Ladies Initiating Giving an Honored Tradition), a women's giving initiative of the Wells County Foundation.
​
​​​Every spring, the Wells County Prom Dress Exchange gives local students the chance to find the perfect formal look—without the high price tag.
​​
​This two-day event is held each March and is open to all area students. For just $10, participants can choose a dress plus shoes and jewelry to complete their prom look.
​How It Works
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we offer a wide selection of gently used formal dresses in all sizes. Participants can browse the racks and find a style they love—no questions, no forms, just an opportunity to shine on prom night.
​​
