Samaritan House Seeking Halloween Costumes for Low Income Kids
It's easy---just bring your new, or gently used Halloween costume to the Samaritan House office in San Mateo, or, have it shipped directly from an Amazon Wishlist.
Written by Joan Dentler
Samaritan House is looking for donations of new or gently used Halloween costumes. The goal is to collect 200 costumes by October 31st to distribute to families.
Each year Samaritan House helps thousands of low income families enjoy the holiday season by providing items that they might otherwise not be able to afford. This year they are expanding their seasonal distributions to include Halloween costumes.
Support from the community will ensure that Samaritan House’s youngest clients don’t miss out on one of childhood’s greatest joys.
