This October Marianne's 5th graders decided to wear costumes for class picture day.  She brought about 15 costumes from her dress up bin at home (4 kids x countless halloweens = a surplus) and began sharing.  At the end of the day a student from a different class came to thank her.  That student expressed how awesome the costume was because she wasn't going to dress up this year.  After talking more she ended up taking two home so she and her brother could trick or treat in costumes.  An idea was born.

We would love for you to donate slightly used or new costumes and accessories so we can expand this to more students next year.  You can mail stuff to us, we will come pick up locally (Knoxville), you can purchase from our Target or Amazon lists, or you can ship to Marianne's school.

We are so grateful to continue our mother's legacy of community love and we are psyched to have you join us!
