Comerica Bank and Jackets for Jobs Join Forces to Support Local Teens This Homecoming Season with Free Dress Giveaway

Students can register online to visit the pop-up dress boutique, Sept. 13-14

DETROIT, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank and Jackets for Jobs are hosting a free two-day Homecoming Dress Giveaway boutique for metro Detroit students on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14.

The two-day dress giveaway event will take place in the lower level of the Samaritan Center, located at 5555 Conner St. in Detroit, and will feature hundreds of new and gently used dresses.

The pop-up Homecoming boutique will offer dresses of various styles and sizes sourced from Comerica Bank's seventh annual Prom Dress Drive, which the bank held in the spring. The Prom Dress Drive event collected new and gently used eveningwear from the community to benefit local teens who otherwise may not be able to afford formal attire and experience the high school tradition of prom.

"The generosity shown by our customers, colleagues and neighbors during this year's Prom Dress Drive was truly remarkable," said Steve Davis, Comerica Bank Michigan Market President. "Thanks to the overwhelming number of dress donations we received, we're thrilled to open an additional boutique just in time for the Homecoming season."

"These events are about more than simply providing a dress; they're about helping students feel confident, celebrated and supported during such a memorable moment in their lives. Seeing our community unite to make that possible adds even more meaning to what we do."

During this year's Prom Dress Drive, Comerica collected nearly 2,300 dresses, bringing the donation total to more than 7,100 dress since partnering with Jackets For Jobs in 2023. Comerica's metro Detroit prom dress initiative first began in 2017 and, since then, Comerica has received more than 10,000 dresses that have been donated to community partners.

"Seeing students light up when they find the perfect dress is a reminder of why this boutique matters," said Alison Vaughn, Jackets for Jobs Founder and CEO. "For the second year, our Homecoming giveaway partnership with Comerica Bank will be making Homecoming dreams possible for teens by removing financial barriers and opening doors to experiences every teen should have. The community's generosity makes it possible for us to reach even more young people and create memories they'll carry for a lifetime."
