Galleria Fort Lauderdale Invites The Community To "Share The Warmth"

As part of this initiative, Galleria Fort Lauderdale will collect items during the Boo Bash Halloween event on Thursday, October 29th, 2026 from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Families are invited to enjoy trick-or-treating at select stores, cookie decorating, photos with costume characters, an interactive ring toss and sticker station. A judged costume contest will name the favorite top three winners.

"’Share the Warmth’ is about more than collecting coats and things to keep people warm—it's about bringing our community together to make a meaningful difference for our neighbors in need," said Shaneika Haskins, Marketing Director at Galleria Fort Lauderdale. "Through our partnership with One Warm Coat and The Salvation Army of Broward County, every donation stays local, helping provide warmth, dignity, and hope throughout our community.”

All items collected at Galleria Fort Lauderdale will be distributed by The Salvation Army of Broward County, ensuring donations directly benefit local individuals and families.

“The Salvation Army of Broward is grateful for Galleria Fort Lauderdale which understands our mission to help others in need,” said Area Commander Captain Arnaldo Pena of The Salvation Army of Broward County. “It is certainly not cold here now, but if and when we get a cold snap, we want to be able to serve those in need well.”

It is easy to help. The community is encouraged to bring new or gently used coats, jackets, sweaters and blankets to Galleria Fort Lauderdale. A collection kiosk will be located in the Palm Court so shoppers can make donations during mall hours. Shoppers can share their experience on Social Media using: #sharethewarmth. And tag: @galleriaftlaud.
