Halloween Costume
Exchange Party in Mountain View (Mercy Street FRC). Donations will be
collected at all our sites and classes from now through the September 28, and
the pick-up will be on September 29.
Halloween Costume Exchange
Wouldn't it be nice if your kids could just wear last year's
costumes? After all, they only wore them once. While you can't magically make
last year's costume fit again, you might find a gently used costume for free at
our costume exchange!
First
Donate your old costumes (clean and gently used) during your
classes or at the FIRST 5 Mercy Street Office at 748 Mercy Street in Mountain View
between August 6 - September 28.
Next
Come to our exchange event at: Mountain View Mercy Street FRC: Saturday September 29 from 10:00 am -12:00 pm
Note: To participate, we ask that you donate your old costume
and understand that you may not find a new one that you want to replace it
with, and we will not be able to give you your old costume back. Hopefully though,
you'll find a great new (to you) costume that your child will love.
Don't
Have a Costume to Exchange? Costumes
may be purchased for $5 from 11:30am - 12:00pm.
