Trunk or Treat + Volunteers Needed!

We’re looking for volunteers who can take some time over the next few days and this weekend to build "Monster Boxes" for collecting candy donations. For inspiration, check out Google, YouTube, or Pinterest! Once these boxes are set up at the school, we’ll begin accepting candy donations (more details to come soon).

We’re also looking for TRUNKS! If you're interested in decorating your car, trunk, table, bike, or any creative setup, we’d love to have you! Please [GO HERE] to sign up for either of these fun opportunities.
