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 7,600 costumes -- all donated to children in need throughout the WORLD!
In 2017, we distributed 1,400 costumes to children served by these organizations:
Warren E. Smith Health System, PA
The Housing Partnership, KY
Jane Addams Place, PA
Six Homeless Women's/Children's Houses, NY
The Floating Hospital, NY
Safe Horizon, NY
St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School, PA
Carson Valley Children's Aid, PA
Catholic Charities of Trenton, NJ
Chances, PA
PPW Program, NY
Plus a school in Pakistan!
If you are a non-profit organization interested in collaborating with us in 2018, or interested in holding a future costume collection, please contact us.
