We had a wildly successful 3rd annual Halloween Costume Swap! Over 215 costumes and an uncountable number props, wigs, masks and accessories, made their way to new homes today!

That's hundreds of pounds of material that didn't go into the landfill and thousands of dollars that families didn't spend on single-use costumes!

Huge thanks to Follen Church - Unitarian Universalist East Village Fair and Waldorf School of Lexington for hosting us again!
