Halloween is upon us, and we’re thrilled to see everyone’s creativity come alive, like Frankenstein! Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana is ready to help with all your Halloween shopping needs. Our stores are stocked with vintage clothing, quirky accessories, and items that can be transformed into one-of-a-kind costumes and holiday décor. Not only will you discover unique items, but the proceeds generated from your purchases will directly support your community.

 

The best part? You can mix and match pieces to create a costume that’s entirely your own, ensuring no one else at the party will wear the same outfit. Be a time-traveling vampire, a space cowboy, or a zombie doctor — the only limit is your imagination!

 

Shopping at Goodwill isn’t just good for your wallet — it’s good for the planet. Are you thinking about tossing last year’s costume? According to one survey, 83% of Halloween costumes end up in landfills, so once you’ve worn them, consider donating them to Goodwill. You’ll give them a second chance to shine and help someone else stand out from the crowd. Buying pre-owned items from Goodwill extends their life and reduces your carbon footprint. Your donations to Goodwill helped us keep over 100,000 pounds of waste out of landfills in 2023 alone. Talk about a win-win! 

 

When you donate and shop at Goodwill, the proceeds generated stay in your community. As a local nonprofit, every donation you give, and every dollar you spend makes a difference, going far beyond Halloween. Goodwill offers a range of employment, education, and health services aimed at helping individuals and families achieve economic self-sufficiency. So when you shop at Goodwill, you support much more than just a holiday. You’re helping Goodwill provide jobs for people with disabilities, nurses for first-time mothers, tuition-free education for adults who lack a high school diploma, and so much more!

 

This spooky season, consider your local Goodwill for all your Halloween needs and feel good knowing your donations and purchases are helping reduce waste, find employment, and support your community. Happy Halloween!
