🎃 Costumes are NOT consent.

No matter what someone wears, where they go, or how they celebrate Halloween, consent is always required. Consent means freely and willingly agreeing to engage in an activity. It is never assumed, implied, or given under pressure, force, or coercion.

This Halloween, remember: respect boundaries, prioritize consent, and look out for one another. 💜

A simple note can make such a big difference. When we opened a recent clothing donation, we found a little message that said, “You are so loved.” Thank you to our generous donor for not only sharing clothing with our clients, but also for sharing a little extra kindness and love. Reminders like these mean so much. 💜
