Children's Home Society of Florida is a statewide child-welfare 501(c)(3) whose annual Halloween Treats and Costume Drive accepts donated new and gently used costumes in baby, toddler, youth, and adult sizes at its local offices. Donated costumes stay local so the children each office serves can take part in Halloween. The drive runs in the weeks leading up to the holiday.
