We will be hosting our 2nd Annual Light the Night at our Birdsboro Campus on Monday, October 31st from 6pm – 8pm.

What is Light the Night? It\’s a safe space full of fun and LIGHT to the families of Birdsboro. We invite volunteers to decorate their cars in a fun, non-scary way and hand out treats or prizes. We will also be providing a meal of hot dogs and snacks! This is a festive, fun, and wholesome community-wide event that is lighthearted and loved by children of all ages!

There are two ways you can participate: by registering to decorate your car and hand out treats, or by volunteering to donate your time or food items for the event.

We are in need of volunteers to help run the event, as well as donations of candy and treats to be handed out to children as well as food and supplies for meals.

CANDY/TREAT donations can be dropped off at any time in the bins at either MCC campus. Please drop off donations NO LATER than October 16th. No sign-up is needed for the candy/treat donations. (Please, choose peanut-free candy and treats only).
