Derby town clerk collecting costumes for needy children

Sharing an email from Derby Town/City Clerk Marc Garofalo:

Good afternoon, 

The Derby Town/City Clerk’s Office will be collecting slightly used Halloween costumes for use next year by City children.  

Every year parents spend a lot of money on costumes that are worn only once.  Unfortunately, there are a number of families that can’t afford a new costume. This project will help those in need for next year.

Costumes can be brought to the Town/City Clerk’s Office during business hours –Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 pm.

Please spread the word to friends and family to promote recycling and helping our neighbors.

Thanks to a Derby teacher for the great suggestion!
