S.C.A.R.E stands for Secondhand Costume Annual Redistribution Effort – a long name for a simple concept.  

We believe that all children deserve to enjoy the fun & magic of Halloween, but we also understand that families sometimes need to prioritize food and shelter over Halloween costumes and activities.  S.C.A.R.E. was born so no child feels left out or left behind. Our mission is to provide Halloween costumes and activities to children and families in need in Southern NH. We will collect and distribute both new and used costumes and create free haunt experiences to terrify and delight.

We have over 1800 costumes and accessories and a fantastic group of volunteers ready to go for 2022, but we know the need will be even greater this year, so we are actively recruiting more volunteers, doing more costume drives, and expanding into Manchester.

We have partnered with the United Way of Nashua who can take – in kind- donations on our behalf, and with the Manchester Boys and Girls Club.  We will be distributing costumes on Oct 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd at six different locations in Nashua and Manchester. We are hoping to get the message out for families needing a little help this year to come by one of our events.  Our volunteers help with selection and accessories.  There is never a hassle and never a requirement to return the costume.  We also want to promote that we will be accepting costumes from the community at each of these events and will have locations for drop off after Halloween.
