The Kindness Project is an Emmaus, Pennsylvania 501(c)(3) that runs a free boutique for foster families across more than 35 counties in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Stocked entirely from donated new and like-new goods, the boutique offers seasonal items including Halloween costumes to foster children at no cost. Foster families shop the boutique and a mobile boutique throughout the year, with costumes available in the fall. Visit mykindnessproject.org for donation drop-off details and boutique information.
The Kindness Project 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.
