Thank you for helping Emma Rose Shapiro Exceed Her 2009 Goal of Collecting 1,000 Previously Enjoyed Halloween Costumes...and Collecting 2,036 Costumes!
The Halloween Helpers was conceived in 2008 by then 11-year-old Emma Rose Shapiro while sorting through costumes from years past. The young altruist realized that there are children fortunate enough to get a new costume every year and those who do not even get one in their brief childhood.
Emma's goal is to enlist children who outgrow or become disinterested in previous years' costumes and share them with kids who would not typically receive them.
In essence, Emma's goal is to raise awareness, and gain empathy, among her peers that there are children in our own community who do not participate in Halloween. This one simple effort provides life-long memories, develops self-worth, and builds stronger communities.
How you can help Emma Rose:
Hold a costume drive at your school, business, camp, scout troop, religious group, special event or organization.
Volunteer. Help distribute and/or retrieve costume collection boxes, sort and label costumes, or help out at our mid-October costume distribution events at the Greater Norristown PAL.
Partner with other businesses who can help provide trick-or-treat bags, healthy single-serving snacks or make-up. This will greatly help the greater Norristown community organizations who will be holding trick-or-treat parades.
Downloadable Forms, Handouts and Signage:
The Halloween Helpers wants to make the costume notification and collection process as easy as possible for you. Therefore, we have created the following downloadable forms and signage that you can easily adapt to meet your own needs!
