What We Do
Making Memories
Giving kids a safe and happy Halloween is more complex than it may seem. There are many layers to such an endeavor which is why we have created the following programs to ensure our long-term success:
Free Costumes
Our annual Costume Giveaway is more than a distribution event, it's a Halloween celebration. Children are welcomed by the Fifolet Festival Royal Court, entertained by local dance krewes, enjoy balloon artists, face painting, and story time with the King and Queen, while dedicated volunteers help each family "shop" for a costume that has been carefully inspected to ensure it looks and feels like new.
Kids' Court Youth Leadership & Volunteer Program
Kids' Court is our youth leadership program designed to inspire the next generation of community volunteers. Members develop confidence, leadership skills, and a heart for service while helping bring Halloween to life for others.
Hospital Outreach
Our Hospital Outreach Program brings the spirit of Halloween to children who are unable to celebrate at home by delivering candy-free treat bags to local hospitals on Halloween. Each bag is carefully assembled to bring comfort, smiles, and a little Halloween magic during a difficult time.
Trick-or-Treat Assistance
We believe that community events, such as Trick or Treat, help to strengthen neighborhoods. Let us help your neighborhood revitalize the community tradition of Trick or Treat.
Special Awards
Recognizing the efforts of others that actively improve our shared community supports our vision of safe neighborhoods for all children. To that end, awards were created that follow the ideals of our motto: Community Courage Creativity. 10/31 Consortium also recognizes its members with significant contributions to the organization.
