Trunk or Treat
First Moore is excited to host a night of fun, food, games, and more for the family on Sunday, October 27 from 5:00-7:00pm.
There are many opportunities for the people of First Moore to serve our community. You could decorate a space and hand out candy, donate candy, help with food, inflatables, parking, registration, and more.
What is Trunk or Treat? Trunk or Treat is an outreach event for the families and children in our community. Trunk or Treat is similar to a Fall Festival in that it serves as a safe and fun alternative to traditional Halloween activities. It also provides a great opportunity to connect with our community.
When is Trunk or Treat? Sunday, October 27 from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
How does a Trunk or Treat work? At a Trunk or Treat event, people decorate their trunks and give candy or prizes to the children as they walk by. (You could even have a game in your area if you would like.) We have set a goal for 60 decorated trunks to help make this a fun family event. (The church will provide the candy!) This year, put your creative caps on because we will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for the best-decorated trunks!
How can I be a part of this event? There are several ways that you can be a part:
Decorating a trunk and pass out candy.
Donating wrapped candy to be handed out. (There are candy donation boxes around the church to drop off your candy.)
Work at the Snack Stop.
Help set up/run activities. (connector team, inflatables, pumpkin painting, safety team, etc.)
Help clean up following the event.
Save this picture to your phone and send it to those you want to invite to Trunk or Treat!
