The North Liberty Costume Closet is a community-run program in North Liberty, Iowa that collects used children's costumes each September and redistributes them free at a late-September closet event. Costumes appropriate for children birth through age 12, plus accessories, are accepted; wigs, recital outfits, and makeup are excluded. Donation drop boxes are placed inside the Community Center library and the recreation lobby during the collection window. The closet event lets families pick up to two costumes per child, with any remaining inventory donated to the North Liberty Community Closet on October 1. The 2024 program ran September 28-29; verify current-year dates at northlibertyiowa.org before donating.
North Liberty Costume Closet runs a seasonal collection, typically Sep. 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.
