UMassFive College Federal Credit Union will host a Halloween costume drive at its Hadley, Mass. branch during the month of October. Items collected will be donated to the Amherst Survival Center, where they will be made available for free to children affiliated with the center.
"Halloween costumes often do not make the list of essentials in the budget," said Susan Cox, community store coordinator at the Amherst Survival Center. "By collecting new and gently used costumes, UMassFive members are helping to make sure that we have costumes available and that all children in our community can participate in Halloween."
UMassFive welcomes new and gently used children's Halloween costumes, masks and accessories. Donations will be collected between Oct. 1 and 21, and can be dropped off during business hours to UMassFive, 200 Westgate Center Dr., Hadley, Mass.
