The Halloween Helpers

Wynnewood, PA ·Ships Nationwide
Halloween Mail-in ★ Youth-Founded

The Halloween Helpers is a Wynnewood, Pennsylvania youth-founded program launched by Emma Rose Shapiro in 2008 when she was eleven years old — one of the earliest documented youth-founded costume redistribution programs in the United States. The organization historically accepts gently used Halloween costumes through mail-in donations to PO Box 19, Wynnewood, PA 19096, repackages them, and distributes them free to children in need each fall. Donations historically arrived nationally during the September through November collection window. The Halloween Helpers established a template that influenced a number of later youth-led costume programs across the country. Current operational status is unconfirmed — recent activity on thehalloweenhelpers.com and partner platforms is limited. Verify the program is still accepting donations before shipping; alternative active programs are listed in this directory if Halloween Helpers proves inactive.
