Food bank holds Trick or Eat fundraiser
If you’re still a kid at heart and miss the fun of going door to door for candy on Halloween night, it turns out the Interfaith Food Bank is giving you another opportunity, but it’s for a good cause. Danielle McIntyre the group’s executive director says instead of candy, they’re encouraging people to dress up in costume and collect non-perishables for their “Trick or Eat” Halloween Food Drive.
She says you can participate in three different ways. First, you can register with the food bank and go door-to-door Halloween night collecting items for the food bank, then drop them off that night. Or, you can hold a food drive at your halloween party or haunted house, and thirdly, you can just plain donate financially to the food bank.
McIntyre also says those who come to the food bank in costume on the 31st will go home with a treat bag and will be entered into an online costume contest on Interfaith’s social media pages, where people can vote online for “This or That”.
The Interfaith Food Bank will be open until 9 p.m. on Halloween night.
