Trunk or Treat
A Halloween tradition created just for special needs families.
Join us for a night of trick-or-treating without the crowds, the pressure, or the fear of judgment. Every activity is designed so children, teens, and adults with disabilities can celebrate Halloween in a safe, welcoming environment where everyone belongs.
More Than a Trunk or Treat
More Than Candy!
Halloween should be exciting—not overwhelming.
Our annual Trunk or Treat was created because many families of children and adults with disabilities told us traditional Halloween events simply weren’t enjoyable. Crowds, long lines, loud noises, rushing from trunk to trunk, and the fear of being judged often made the evening more stressful than fun.
Here, everything is different.
Families are encouraged to move at their own pace, revisit favorite trunks, take sensory breaks, and enjoy the evening without worrying about stares or expectations.
Whether someone says “Trick or Treat,” uses a communication device, signs, or simply smiles, every guest is celebrated exactly as they are.
What You’ll Experience
From trick-or-treating and pumpkin painting to bounce houses and warm hot chocolate, every activity is designed with our special needs families in mind.
Bounce Houses
Need have kids burn off some of that sugar? They will burn off energy in a fun, supervised space.
Decorated Trunks
Wander from trunk to trunk collecting treats, smiles, and Halloween memories.
Pumpkin Painting
Decorate a pumpkin while taking a break from all the excitement.
Hot Chocolate & Treats
Warm drinks, goodies and kind hellos for the whole family.
Community Connections
Meet local organizations and volunteers who care deeply about our families.
A Place to Belong
Relax, laugh, and celebrate in a welcoming environment where everyone is accepted exactly as they are.
It Starts With a Trunk...But It Means So Much More
Every decorated trunk represents far more than candy.
It represents someone who chose to spend their Halloween creating joy for another family.
Someone who gave their time, creativity, and heart so a child could feel excited instead of overwhelmed, welcomed instead of different.
Year after year, our community continues to amaze us.
Your kindness turns a parking lot into a place where families laugh, connect, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for making Halloween magical for so many families.
