Network of Community Ministries is a Richardson, Texas faith-based 501(c)(3) founded in 1985 that serves more than 30,000 people annually across fourteen zip codes in the Richardson Independent School District area of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The organization operates an annual Halloween Boo-tique each October at its 1500 International Parkway, Suite 300 office, where families using the food and clothing pantry can also pick out free Halloween costumes for their children. Costume distribution is integrated with the organization's broader social-services intake, so families receive Halloween outfits as part of the same visit they pick up groceries or school supplies. New and gently used children's costumes are collected each September through community drop-offs at the Richardson office. The Boo-tique typically runs for one to two weeks in mid-October, timed so families can attend community Halloween events. Contact (972) 234-8880 or thenetwork.org for current donation hours and Boo-tique scheduling.
Network of Community Ministries 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.
No. Network of Community Ministries collects drop-off and serves Richardson ISD area (DFW). If you are outside that area, look for a program closer to you, or use one of the 7 programs in this directory that accept mail-in donations from anywhere.
Network of Community Ministries is listed as Faith-based organization, which is not the same as a registered 501(c)(3). A donation here may not be tax deductible. If deductibility matters to you, ask the program about their status before donating.

Programs change hours, addresses, and intake windows without notice, so check their own site before you travel or ship.
