Prom night is meant to be a fun night, but the bill can add up quickly.

One young woman took that into her own hands Saturday by hosting a free prom dress giveaway.

Amaris Hawkins started collecting gently used cheap petite prom dresses a few weeks ago.

The number of donations was up to about 150.

On Saturday, Hawkins says about 30 girls came to pick out a free dress at Covenant Life Cathedral.

She says paying for a dress, hair and makeup on top of college application fees and senior dues could rob girls out of their chance to attend prom.
"I wanted to create an opportunity for young girls to have one less worry their senior year, so we decided to do a dress drive to offset the cost for senior prom," Hawkins said.

Hawkins says no one walked out of the dress drive empty-handed.

She plans to schedule another dress drive in the near future to give away the leftover dresses.

Very commendable of her. This lady won't know the good she has done to a lot of these girls. May God's blessing also search her out when she needs it.
