Halloween may be a few weeks away, but it's never too early to give or receive a treat.

Dozens of new and used costumes and monetary donations for face paint and accessories are being collected for local children by Paddock Road Elementary School at 3535 Paddock Road, southwest of 90th and Center.

The fundraiser was started to help give children a chance to enjoy Halloween. "It's fun, it's all about kids for me,” says Paddock’s Kelli Urbach. “I remember being a kid and I remember going through it all. It's just fun, it's a fun thing to do and we're excited."

To give a costume or monetary donation or if you need a costume, contact Paddock Road Elementary at 390-6465.
