    Description

    Come to our main office to help distribute coats and candy to the children we serve! We have two volunteer opportunities for this event: general event volunteers and 'trunk' volunteers. Please make sure that you select the correct opportunity when signing up!

    General event volunteers will assist with distributing coats, school supplies, and hot chocolate to children.

    Trunk volunteers will purchase and bring peanut-free candy to distribute to the children we serve in classic trunk or treat fashion.
