“Dear PoPville,

You know those Halloween costumes that end up in the back of the closet taking up space and collecting dust? Well we want to put them to good use! Encounter Church is collecting Halloween costumes for the kids at Park Morton. We’ll wash, sort, pack, and store costumes until next year so you don’t have to!

Costumes can be dropped off at Encounter on Sunday mornings or during normal weekday business hours. The office is located at District Bridges, 3400 11th Street NW, Suite 200 (above Meridian Pint). Our door is on 11th Street between Meridian Pint and the former Good Silver. Look for the orange box upstairs!

If you have any questions, email [email protected].”

From DPW:

“Once the trick-or-treating is over, DC residents can put their pumpkins to good use by dropping them off at one of the DC Department of Public Works’ (DPW) 9 food waste drop-off locations. Carved and painted jack-o-lanterns will be composted along with other food scraps, while fully intact pumpkins will be donated to food rescue partners. (more…)
