Halloween is one of the most important events in a young child’s life. It provides lifelong memories, develops self-worth, and allows kids to play an active role in their community. Unfortunately, many children are unable to participate in this fun, annual experience because they do not have a costume.
Developed in 2008 by then 11-year-old Emma Rose Shapiro the mission of The Halloween Helpers is to collect previously-enjoyed, gently-used Halloween costumes and donate them to children who may not typically be able to participate in this yearly celebration.
Thanks to your generosity, The Halloween Helpers has had amazing success, In 2009, Emma collected more than 2,000 costumes. All were donated to children served by the Greater Norristown Police Athletic League. To date, Emma has gathered more than 10,000 costumes -- all donated to children in need throughout the WORLD!
In 2020, we distributed 3,000 costumes to children served by these organizations:
The Association for Mental Health and Wellness
The Horsham Clinic
Maternal and Child Health Consortium
Carson Valley Children's Aid
Guilford County Schools
The Grand Settlement
Boys and Girls Clubs of Cumberland County
The Variety Club, Philadelphia
Interfaith Hospitality Network
Lutheran Settlement House
Eastern Suffolk BOCES
Child and Family
Rose House Shelter
