Every costume, accessory and piece of home decor purchased helps make our community stronger
Halloween is coming to Goodwill of the Heartland! Our Halloween Headquarters opens Tuesday, September 1, bringing costumes, accessories, decor and plenty of one-of-a-kind finds to our retail stores.
Whether you're planning the perfect costume, decorating for the season, or simply looking for something wonderfully unexpected, Halloween Headquarters at your local Goodwill Store is the place the start.
Be Extraordinary!
We've got costumes for everyone - from the smallest trick-or-treater to the most seasoned costume connoisseur. Whether you're looking to embody a pop culture icon or prefer something more traditional, our unique mix of new and donated goods means no two Halloween costumes are quite alike.
If you're into creating your own looks, Goodwill has plenty of components to spark your creativity. Check out our Create Your Own resources for DIY videos, costume component lists and inspiration to help bring your idea to life.
You'll also find new wigs, makeup and a huge selection of accessories - all at a fraction of retail prices. Go ahead and check out the coconut bras, fairy wings and colorful hair sprays. Halloween is your chance to stand out.
No Tricks, Just Treats!
Seasoned Halloween Headquarters shoppers know the early ghouls are greeted by the full measure of our team members' creativity. Our stores transform for the season with carefully curated displays filled with Halloween finds ready to be discovered and taken to new homes.
And don't assume that what you see on opening day is all there is.
Thousands of new items - Halloween and otherwise - are brought to the sales floor each day. Shop early, shop often and expect to find something different each time you visit.
Can't possibly visit every Goodwill Store? Keep an eye on our social media throughout the season. We'll share photos and videos from stores across our territory, show off favorite costumes and displays, and introduce you to some of the team members who make Halloween Headquarters possible.
Spread the Spirit!
When you shop at Halloween Headquarters at your local Goodwill Store, you're doing more than preparing for the best holiday of the year. Your purchase helps Goodwill of the Heartland continue its mission.
In fact, 89 cents of every dollar you spend is reinvested in programs and services that help people overcome barriers to independence. Your purchases support military veteran reintegration, independent living services for people with disadvantages, and no-cost skills training for people looking to advance their careers.
So zombie-walk or cha-cha-cha your way to Halloween Headquarters, where every costume, accessory and piece of home decor you purchase helps make our community stronger.
Who knew dressing up could do so much good?
Extended Hours Begin September 14
