Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer and LAPD Olympic Division Capt. Patricia Sandoval hosted the Prom Closet clothing giveaway on March 16 to help low-income students prepare for school proms. The program alleviates the high cost of purchasing clothing for proms. Boys and girls from 15 high schools throughout Los Angeles chose outfits from a collection of hundreds of new and slightly-used designer dresses and suits, all of which were donated. The students also selected shoes and accessories to complete their outfits. City Attorney’s Office Community Resource Specialist Kimberly Morosi coordinated the Prom Closet project. Volunteers helped students select their outfits and taught boys how to tie their ties. For information, email kimberly.morosi@lacity.org.
