Child Abuse Prevention Services to Hold Trunk or Treat Event

It goes without saying that COVID-19 is probably the scariest thing faced by many families in this day and age. The global pandemic has altered almost every aspect of our everyday lives and some of our annual festivities.

We’ve found many ways to do most of the things we’d normally do, but some things have been completely cancelled.

Gratefully, this does not include fall fun!

Each year, harvest festivals and Halloween gatherings are planned toward the end of October. These events give children and adults alike a chance to dress up in costume for a day and enjoy various parties as well as the opportunity to pick up goodies.

How does that happen safely this year?

On Friday, October 30, Child Abuse Prevention Services will host a Trunk or Treat event at its location in the Parkview Shopping Center at 618 14^th Street. This event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will last until the candy is gone.
