[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it's ridiculous to only accept new costumes.Most of the used costumes they received would have only been once & would still be in perfectly good condition, after all! That being said, it's not the kids' fault that this policy is in place & I don't think that they should have to go without because of it. Since I can afford to (& I fully understand that not everybody can),if such a drive were taking place at my children's school, I would buy a new costume or two to donate.I would also, however, contact the drive's organisers & explain to them that they will likely receive a lot more donations next year if,instead of asking for just new costumes, they asked for "new or gently used" ones, explaining that while a lot of parents can't afford to buy an extra new costume for a disadvantaged child, most likely still have, & would gladly donate, one or more of their children's costumes from previous Halloweens that were only worn once.[/quote]
