Jackson County CASA runs an annual Halloween costume drive each fall to outfit children in foster care across the Kansas City metro. New or gently used costumes, reusable trick-or-treat bags, costume accessories, and individually wrapped candy are accepted weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the CASA office at 2544 Holmes Street. The drive deadline is the last Thursday of October so families can pick up items before Trunk-or-Treat events. Gory or violent costumes are excluded. CASA's mission is court-appointed advocacy for abused and neglected children, and the costume drive supports their year-round work with foster families.
Jackson County CASA Halloween Costume Drive runs a seasonal collection, typically Sep-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.
