Halloween Comes Alive at Goodwill!
With Goodwill, celebrating a safe and spooky Halloween at home is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Here’s how to get started:
#1: Decorate your space
Goodwill is your one-stop shop to find affordable, unique decorations for your at-home Halloween celebrations. Bring the colors of fall into your space with decorative pumpkins and gourds arranged on an orange, yellow, or green tablecloth. Or, go the spooky route and try classic Halloween décor like plastic skeletons and skulls or spooky aged books.
