The Positive Results Center is also requesting additional donations from the public.
"Either new or clean and gently used gowns," said Kandee Lewis, the nonprofit's executive director. "We're also looking for suits and tuxedos for our masculine-centered girls."
High-heel shoes, evening bags and jewelry are also needed.

The event is scheduled to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Beehive, 1000 E. 60th St. in South Los Angeles.
