For poor kids, they can still enjoy halloween. It doesn't cost a lot to make a good costume, throw a few bits and pieces together and there you have it, a great costume.
I agree ... an old sheet and a pair of scissors, and you're a ghost. Or a roll of toilet paper, and you're a mummy.
They had all costumes dirt cheap at Walmart after Halloween here, too.
I'm not saying it's not a good idea to donate costumes, it is. I just remember as a kid, we had the most fun when we were creative and made our own costumes for pennies, rather than buying them.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
