WAYS YOU CAN HELP
1. We need volunteers to decorate their trunks and pass out candy! If you would like to do so, please let us know when you complete the RSVP form. Families who are decorating their trunks must arrive between 4:00-4:30.
2. If you are unable to decorate your trunk but would like to contribute, we would welcome candy donations! You can drop them off at the PTA table when you arrive (a map with a layout of the lot will be shared the week of Oct 23). This will help ensure that our Trunk volunteers and vendors have enough candy to distribute in case they run out. Click HERE for more information.
