Halloween Costume Drive

Your Activity: It's that time when children's faces light up with anticipation, dreaming of the perfect costume for the year's spookiest night. However, for families transitioning away from homelessness, providing costumes for their little ones can be a daunting challenge.

We need your help! Please support our abilities to provide an excellent Halloween by donating costumes! Clean out your closets and contribute to the magic! We're accepting new or gently used Halloween costumes suitable for children of all ages. Whether it's a superhero, a princess, a ghost, or a pirate - every costume can make a child's Halloween dreams come true. Looking for volunteer credit? Receive 2 hours of volunteer credit for every costume you donate (1 costume = 2 HR). We do not fulfill court-ordered volunteer hours.

Your Impact: By participating in this opportunity, you're not just providing costumes; you're creating memories, boosting self-esteem, and fostering a sense of belonging for children who have faced adversity. Your generosity will ensure that no child has to miss out on the enchantment of Halloween.
