RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Are you looking to celebrate Halloween for a good cause this season? A south Orange County man has been hard at work creating a visually impactful Halloween scare-zone in his own front yard, and residents can join in on the fun.

Rancho Santa Margarita James Gabbriellini has been holding his annual Halloween display for over thirty years, and does so to raise money and food for those in need.

This year, Gabbriellini said that his display is sponsored by Alza Italian Restaurant, Southern California Shredding and more.

Residents can donate non-perishable food by visiting Gabbriellini's Halloween display from now until Halloween night.
