PRESERVING THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN WHILE EMPOWERING THE YOUTH
MISSIONThe Maskoween Project's mission is to ensure that each year for Halloween, kids who are less fortunate or have special needs, and reside in Martinsville and Henry County, will be provided their very own costume at no cost. With the generous monetary donations and donated costumes from the local community, the Maskoween Project will be able to make sure that those kids can enjoy and participate in school, and Trick-or-Treat events during the month of October and fully experience the Halloween season.
