Donate Halloween Costumes to Benefit SHELTER, Inc. of Contra Costa County

By Susan C. Schena (Patch Staff)

Give Together is currently hosting a Halloween costume drive to benefit SHELTER, Inc. of Contra Costa County.

Donate new and gently-used Halloween costumes to benefit children and families receiving services through the nonprofit organization, founded in 1986 to alleviate Contra Costa County’s homeless crisis.

Drop off costumes at Tutu School, Walnut Creek or Small Talk Family Cafe until Oct. 10 or schedule a pick up by emailing info@givegrow.org.

To help SHELTER, Inc distribute the costumes quickly, please pack each costume in a ziplock bag and include a large slip of paper with the description of the costume and size.

SHELTER, Inc.’s mission is to prevent and end homelessness for low-income residents in our county by providing resources that lead to self-sufficiency. Give Together creates volunteer opportunities for families with young children.
