The Statesboro Family YMCA will host its 3rd Annual Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat on October 29 from 4-6pm, but this year it will be a family friendly fall festival!
Local businesses and organizations will host trunks to hand out candies and goodies, and the Exercise Science Club from Georgia Southern University will host a haunted house, as well as lawn activities.
Costumes are optional, but there will be a costume contest at the event as well as on the Statesboro Family YMCA’s Facebook and Instagram page.
The Trunk or Treat event is designed to provide community members with a safe alternative to door-to-door trick or treating.
“I love this event," said Hannah Beggs, YMCA Executive Branch Director. “It is so great to see all of the amazing families and see the smiles on the kids’ faces. Last year we had 25 community organizations decorate their trunks and provided candy to over 700 kids. I am looking forward to the overwhelming community support again this year.”
How to help with Trunk or Treat
Organizations or businesses that are interested in decorating a trunk and passing out candy can contact Hannah Beggs via email at [email protected] or call the Statesboro YMCA at (912) 225-1962.
Organizations are asked to bring at least 5-7 bags of candy with them and arrive no later than 3pm on the day of the event to set up. The business or organization with the best decorated trunk will receive a YMCA gift basket with a free 1-month YMCA membership.
The Statesboro Family YMCA is also accepting individually wrapped/pre-packaged candy for the event. Donated candy can be dropped off at the Statesboro Family YMCA Welcome Center located at 409 Clairborne Ave.
