Goodwill of the Heartland team brings creativity and community spirit to KWQC’s Quad Cities Live with affordable, one-of-a-kind Halloween looks
Halloween spirit took center stage on KWQC’s Quad Cities Live when Retail Project Manager Kolbi Jamison and members of the Goodwill of the Heartland team joined the show to showcase how easy (and fun!) it is to create unique costumes using Goodwill finds.
With Halloween just weeks away, Kolbi reminded viewers that there’s still time to pull together something truly one-of-a-kind without breaking the bank. “We save fun, quirky donations all year long knowing they’ll shine during Halloween season,” she said. “You’ll go to your party looking like no one else.”
During the segment, our team members modeled a range of creative looks, including a female Austin Powers and a retro pin-up girl. Team members portrayed a classic vampire, pastel unicorn, hard-core rocker, a purple witch, and even a scary movie villain. Each outfit blended donated treasures with brand-new accessories from Goodwill’s “new goods” program, which offers wigs, hats, and costume extras at a fraction of big-box store prices.

Kolbi also shared that stores across the region have special “decade racks” and themed sections to help shoppers find inspiration fast — whether they’re going for flapper flair, rock-and-roll edge, or witchy glam.
The on-air appearance was a true team effort. A big thank you to all of our talented team members, especially our models and Halloween helpers for their work on the costumes. The entire Goodwill team is the reason we say "Halloween Comes Alive at Goodwill."
