Gradwear

SOS believes that all of our local graduates should have the opportunity to look and feel their best during this memorable occasion. Graduates and their dates can choose from a large selection of new and gently used gowns, date dresses, shoes, purses and more. There are formal suits, jackets, ties, shoes and shirts for the guys. Find your dream dress or dapper tux for your big day. For only $5.00, grads choose:

• formal clothing
• shoes
• accessories

It’s all yours to keep! 

In 2021, due to the pandemic, the program will offer grads and their dates the opportunity to come view and try on outfits during two, week-long events at the SOS Community Services Centre in Parksville.
Students can book one-hour time slots. Cleaning will be done between appointments.
