New Providence Halloween Costume Drive This Weekend

Halloween can be scarily expensive: between costumes, candy and decorations, the average American will spend $74 a year on the spooky holiday, with costumes costing an average of $27.

But $27 can be a lot of money for a foster care child. To address that, the One Simple Wish foundation is holding its Halloween Costume Collection this Sunday, Oct. 2 in New Providence.

Any extra Halloween costumes can be dropped off at 63 Spring Floral Drive, across from the New Providence Fire department. All costumes will be donated to children in foster care, so they can enjoy Halloween in style.

One Simple Wish connects donors with foster care children to make wishes come true, from costumes to piano lessons. For more information, check out their website here.
