Place: Salem Senior Center


Do you have a closet full
of costumes that you would never dare be seen in again or some that will never fit your children again? Can’t think of what to be this year? Don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on costumes for the entire family? We have the
perfect solution for you...come to the Salem Costume Swap!!


Here’s how it works: 



  • Donate your swap-able costumes at the Salem Senior Center. Empty
    your closet as a recycle/cleaning house project, you may drop off gently used adult,
    kid or pet costumes at the Salem Senior Center starting on September 10th
    during normal hours. We will also accept Halloween accessories.

  • In exchange for each complete, clean, gently worn costume, you
    will receive 1 swap ticket to claim a new-to-you costume at the 10/13 event.

  • No costume to swap? Still want to shop? No Problem! Stop by the
    event to purchase any costume for $5. Proceeds will benefit Salem youth
    programs.

  • There will be a kids coloring table at the 10/13 event with lots
    of cool coloring pages

Swapping the costumes of only half of the children who celebrate Halloween would reduce
annual landfill waste by 6,250 tons, equivalent to the weight of 2,500 midsize
cars.
