Our Mission
Like Glinda herself, we believe in the power of good deeds. So we started Glinda’s Closet, a nonprofit, to bring the joy of dressing up for Halloween to underprivileged kids in our nearby communities.
Our fiendish plans
We are collecting new and gently used kids’ costumes year-round. And we’re also taking donations to fund more costumes. Then we’ll distribute them at fun-filled local events where kids can come in, browse our stellar closet, try on costumes and go home with one. We’re starting with our neighboring communities in Genesee and Oakland County for now, with the goal of eventually branching out through these counties, then all of metro Detroit, then statewide.
Special requests
We’re working with some local shelters to grant a few special request costumes each year.
Other uses for funds
Monetary donations will be used to fund more costumes, help cover the costs of our events and other expenses like delivering costumes. We currently have no staff; this is a volunteer effort running on kindness.
