Interfaith Social Services to distribute Halloween costumes to local children in need on October 19th, 2019

Interfaith Social Services will distribute hundreds of Halloween costumes to children on October 19th, 2019

On Saturday, Oct. 19, hundreds of low-income kids will come to Interfaith Social Services and select a Halloween costume. These children’s families rely on Interfaith’s food pantry and other programs for assistance. Many of their families don’t have enough disposable income to purchase Halloween costumes. Volunteers will assist as 250 children select costumes, which have been donated by Interfaith’s community of supporters.

When: Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019 – noon-1:00 p.m.

Where: Interfaith Social Services, 105 Adams St. Quincy, MA 02169
