Costume Donation Brings Halloween ‘Boost’ For Kids At Calgary Shelter
Missing out on special celebrations can be tough for families staying in a shelter.
But this Halloween, some generous Calgarians are stepping up so kids don’t miss out on dressing up.
An effort is underway to provide costumes for children and teens staying at the Inn from the Cold shelter in Calgary.
“This is super important because a lot of our parents can’t afford a costume,” Inn from the Cold’s Renee Lozada said.
“And the kids go to school and many of their peers will be in Halloween costumes.”
The collection of costumes is coming together at Don’s Hobby Shop, with the costume and makeup store donating some of the costumes. It’s the third year in a row it has supported families at the shelter at Halloween.
