OUR MISSION
S.C.A.R.E. stands for Secondhand Costume Annual Redistribution Effort
– a long name for a simple concept.
Our mission is to collect new and gently-used Halloween costumes that are then distributed to families in need so that each little ghost and goblin has that perfect costume to enjoy all the magic & mayhem that is Halloween.
