• Trunk or TREAT others with kindness by donating canned goods to a food drive hosted by The Kids Care Club at the Trunk or Treat event! Come visit our donation table and bring one or more cans of food; every student who donates a can will receive a special bag to gather goodies and prizes at the trunk stations!
