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.
