Help Make the Spooktacular a Success

Every contribution helps make the event a memorable experience for local children and families.

“Trunk-or-Treat is about more than candy and costumes — it is about creating a safe place for families to make memories together,” said Sgt. McGowen. “When our community comes together, children see that the people and organizations around them care about their safety, their joy, and their future. We look forward to welcoming everyone.”
