Trunk or Treat at MCC

MCC is pleased to announce a fun and festive event this fall for the children of our communities – Trunk or Treat!

We know that this year has been challenging for everyone, including the children of our community who are missing out on so many things they are used to and love. We wanted to do an event that brings some fun and joy to kids, so we will be hosting a Trunk or Treat event on October 31 at our Elverson Campus. We are inviting everyone to come out and make this very special event for the children of our community!

Trunk or Treat at MCC
Saturday, October 31
1:00-3:00 at the MCC, Elverson Campus

What is Trunk or Treat? It’s Trick-or-Treating in a fun, safe environment. Instead of kids going door to door, we invite volunteers to decorate their cars in a fun, non-scary way and hand out treats or prizes. Children go car to car, instead of door to door. Children will get to vote on the best decorated vehicle, and the winner will receive a large prize! We will also be providing a meal of hot dogs and snacks!

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.

Volunteer to Donate Time or Food Items

We are in need of volunteers to help run the event, as well as donations of food and supplies for meals, and donations of candy/prizes to be handed out to the children. To donate candy/prizes, no sign-up is needed; bins will be placed in the lobby of both church campuses – simply bring your peanut-free, individually-wrapped candy or prize items and drop them in the bins between now and Sunday, October 25th. If you would like to volunteer to help with the event, or to donate food or dinner supplies for the meals, please CLICK HERE to view the sign-up sheet and sign up online!
