It’s HALLOWEEN TIME 🎃

We have several children that we work with, wanting to dress up for Halloween; however, their parents do not have the financial resources to purchase customs. If you have any costumes you would like to donate by this Wednesday, we would sincerely appreciate your generosity.

We specifically have a family asking for Halloween costumes for two twins boys size 7/8, a boy size 14/16 youth, and a boy baby size 18 months. Any costumes can be dropped off at our front desk (1942 E Cantrell Street) by Wednesday. THANK YOU SO MUCH.🎃
