Corazon Bonito is a small Augusta, Georgia nonprofit founded in 2023 by foster parent Patricia Proctor that runs an annual fall Costume Closet event for foster children across the Central Savannah River Area. The 2025 drive aimed to outfit 120 children with free costumes ranging from infant sizes through adult. Drop-offs are accepted at two El Rey Mexican restaurant locations, one in Martinez and one in Grovetown, during the September collection window, with the closet event held in October. Beyond costumes, the organization runs back-to-school drives, serves meals to those in need, and delivers flowers to nursing home and hospice patients. Corazon Bonito operates primarily through their Facebook page; check there for current event dates and signup details.
Corazon Bonito Costume Closet runs a seasonal collection, typically Oct. Seasonal programs usually stop accepting donations once they have distributed for the year, so items that arrive outside that window are often turned away or held until the next cycle. Confirm this year's dates before you drop off or ship.
