Now in its seventh year, Joyce University's Halloween costume drive collects new costumes, themed t-shirts, accessories, candy, and toys for pediatric patients at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. The drive runs from late September through October 24 each year, accepting donations at the Draper campus, via an Amazon Wishlist that ships directly to the school, or as monetary contributions through PayPal. Sizes range from premature infants in the NICU through teenagers. The Joyce community has delivered over one thousand donations across the drive's history, meeting 100% of Primary Children's Hospital's seasonal holiday needs in recent years. All items must remain unopened and donor-anonymous per hospital guidelines.
Joyce University 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.
