Helping Every Child Celebrate Halloween
Every child deserves the chance to experience the excitement of Halloween. The South Shore YMCA’s Costume Boo-Tique helps make that possible by providing free Halloween costumes to local families while encouraging our community to give costumes a second life.
Throughout the first part of October, we invite community members to donate new or gently used Halloween costumes at the Hale Family YMCA. These donations will help children and families access costumes through our Costume Boo-Tique event, ensuring more kids can enjoy the fun, imagination, and confidence that come with dressing up for Halloween.
