Costumes: Pass Them On
Donate old costumes and make a kid's day. Usually, once Halloween has come and gone, we're left with piles of candy and some costumes that may never be worn again. And while it is quite easy to donate candy, what's a cool mom (or dad) to do about Halloween costumes? Donate your old costume to a local organization that works with children and families. One good place to start is the Ronald McDonald House. Or, you can take them to another charitable organization nearby (like a family shelter) so that children can have a costume to wear on Halloween, no matter what's going on in their lives.

I recently tried to take some toys and stuffed animals to the Ronald McDonald House in Nashville. They have to be very particular about what they can accept due to the children's immune systems being compromised. I suggest calling before taking things there - just to make sure that they are able to accept the item(s).
As for the items that they would not accept, I contacted the Dept. of Children's services. They were able to take my items to be used for when chilren are removed from a home and taken to a holding place, awaiting foster care.
