The Costume Shop is a no-cost costume lending library run by the Jeffco Schools Foundation, a 501(c)(3) partner to Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado. Staff, parents, and students check out donated theatrical costumes and special-event wear and return them at no charge, and the shop also fills individual family requests for occasions like graduation, prom, and Halloween. It operates year-round from 809 Quail Street in Lakewood and is stocked entirely by donations. Visit jeffcoschoolsfoundation.org for checkout hours and donation drop-off details.
The Costume Shop is not listed as running a single seasonal collection window, so donations are generally accepted year round. Capacity still varies. Volunteer-run programs pause intake when storage fills up, so check before sending a large donation.

The Costume Shop is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations to registered charities are generally tax deductible if you itemize, and the organization can issue a receipt. Ask them directly for their EIN and a written acknowledgement if you plan to claim the donation on your taxes.

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