Fall football games mean it’s almost time for Homecoming! UthMpact is proud to continue the Project HOCO effort providing formal wear to teens in need. Students with a Polk County School ID can sign a Project HOCO Pledge promising to make healthy and safe choices during Homecoming festivities and receive dresses and suits for FREE! Over 5,500 prom and homecoming ensembles have been provided at no cost to young women and men in Polk County since 2013.
2023 Student Shopping Days for Project HOCO are scheduled for Saturdays September 16 & 30, and October 14 & 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Project Prom/Project HOCO store location in the Lakeland Square Mall, 3800 U.S. 98N, in Lakeland (across from Rack Room Shoes).
Community members may support the Project Prom and Project Homecoming efforts by donating gently used dresses, shoes, men’s suits, ties, and accessories. Especially needed are ladies plus size dresses (size 18+) and smaller size dresses (size 0-4), along with men’s wear in smaller sizes.
Donations may be dropped off at the Project Prom Store on shopping days or at InnerAct Alliance office at 621 South Florida Ave. in Lakeland (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., weekdays). A receipt will be provided for tax purposes.
UthMpact’s goal is to promote a fun and safe Homecoming. Please visit our
