halloween_photoDonate a costume and help a homeless child’s imagination set sail.

 

Helping families celebrate special occasions is important. It’s about giving homeless and extremely low-income parents a chance to spend time with their children outside of the stress of their everyday lives and giving disadvantaged children the same experiences and childhood memories as their peers.

Last year Compass helped 266 children express their inner ghoul, superhero and princess.

Costume donations should be:
• New (or good as new)
• For children of all ages
• Not too scary, please!

Your support will make sure that Compass’ youngest clients don’t miss out on one of childhood's greatest joys.

You may prefer to shop for costumes online and ship them directly to Compass. Online retailers Cheap Halloween Costumes and Costume Discounters both have reasonably priced costumes that are very popular.

Our shipping address is:
