Grant A Wish

Some kids have been through more than any kid should ever have to. Halloween is a perfect time to show them some extra love. Glinda’s Closet has partnered with HAVEN to grant over 50 of those kids in the last two years with their own unique wish … a Halloween costume of their choosing, either purchased or created especially for them. These costumes are more expensive and complicated to deliver, so we are so appreciative of the Halloween heroes who can step up and sponsored these costumes.

Check out their Amazon Halloween Costume wish list below.

How kids answer our favorite question:

Q: What do you want to be for Halloween?

A: “I want to be Miles Morales because I can electric shock, turn invisible, climb walls and swing webs.” – Cooper, age 4

(Quotes from actual kids we’ve worked with. Names have been change to protect the children’s privacy.)

Since 2022, thanks to our Halloween Heroes, we've been able to fulfill every costume wish for the children staying at Haven's Shelter. In total, 52 brand-new costumes have been delivered. Additionally, each child received a shopping bag, a trick-or-treat bucket, and candy. Separate from our grant-a-wish program, we've also held two additional pop-up events for non-residents who use Haven's services, helping an additional 150 kids.
