Trunk Or Treat For Special Needs BurlCo Children Oct. 26

The Burlington County Sheriff’s Office and the Burlington County Special Services School District will host their second annual Children with Special Needs Trunk or Treat on Oct. 26, noon to 3 p.m. at the Burlington County Special Services School Westampton Campus, 20 Pioneer Boulevard in Westampton.

The Burlington County Sheriff’s Department, local first responders, and many county agencies will be participating with decorated vehicles at the event. Participants are encouraged to wear a costume and bring a trick-or-treat bag.

“After such an amazing response from our previous Children with Special Needs events, we knew partnering with the Burlington County Special Services School District would enhance the success of this great event,” Undersheriff Michael Ditzel said. “Our Trunk or Treat allows kids to have safe Halloween fun, and parents don’t have to worry about traffic or crossing the street.”

Trunk or Treat is when trick-or-treating is done from parked car to parked car. Parents can keep a more watchful eye on their children, while colorfully decorating their trunks for the occasion.

Parents and their children interested in attending the “Trunk or Treat” should register before Wednesday, Oct. 23, by calling 609-265-3788 or emailing abarcliff@co.burlington.nj.us.

The event is open to children of all ages with special needs. Peanut-free food and other light refreshments will be provided.
