The Family Resource Youth Service Centers at West Whitesburg Elementary and Cowan Elementary Schools in Letcher County are working to put smiles, and maybe even some masks on some kids' faces this Halloween. The centers are collecting donations of Halloween costumes to ensure that each kid, regardless of their financial situation at home, has a Halloween costume. We don't want any child left out for whatever reason, and there's been times even if we've not had donations that Miss Brittany has even went to Walmart, and we've purchased costumes as well, so students can come here and still choose a costume and take it home with them even for Halloween. We had kids a few years ago that didn't have costumes, and we liked for all of our kids to be able to have a costume so nobody's different or anything like that, and they can walk through our Halloween fashion show and our trunk or treat. Family Resource Youth Service Center coordinator Brittany Adams said the effort got started three years ago, and it's been going strong ever since. She said the community has embraced the effort, and have dug deep in closets and attics to provide costumes for kids in need at West Whitesburg and Cowan. The results have been happy kids ready to trick or treat. Oh, they love it, and they love that I have so many costumes that they get to choose their own costume. It's like they get to come and they get to see which ones are in their size and then which one they like the best. It makes your heart feel good. It makes you feel really good inside when you see a child very happy, smiling to have a costume, when sometimes they may not have could afford that, could not have had the resources at home to get those costumes. We all even take turns on helping those kids get dressed here at school, put those costumes on, and they are so overjoyed and so happy with those costumes. Adams said the goal is to collect 50 costumes by the middle of next week. Donations need not be any specific size or any specific theme. Costume donations can be dropped off at West Whitesburg Elementary or Cowan Elementary. Reporting in Whitesburg for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.
