Are last year’s Halloween costumes still lurking in your closet? Don’t let them gather dust-bring them to Goodwill Southeast Georgia, where Halloween Comes Alive!
By donating your old costumes, you’re giving them a second life for someone else’s spooky fun and supporting free education programs and career training at our six regional Opportunity Centers. These programs are available to the public and help transform lives through educational opportunities and the power of work.
Before…
… and After!
Did you know that nearly 60% of people plan to DIY their costumes this year to save money? With average 2023 Halloween spending coming in at $108.24 (National Retail Federation), that’s a lot to spend for just one night! At Goodwill, you can shop sustainably and score incredible deals while giving back to the community.
Plus, you’ll be helping the planet. A shocking 83% of pre-packaged costumes are made from single-use plastics. By donating and shopping at Goodwill, you’re contributing to a more eco-friendly Halloween.
Best of all, your donations and purchases help support our workforce development programs, which have already empowered more than 3,000 people this year to reach their personal and career goals. So, whether you’re donating last year’s costumes or shopping for a new look, you’re making a real difference in the community!
