This Halloween, the WE LEAD Poverty Reduction team and the Center for Community Engagement and Leadership Development (CCE) are excited to host their 21st Annual Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods event.
During the city-wide trick-or-treat time (6:00 – 7:30 P.M.), students from West Virginia Wesleyan College will be visiting neighborhoods in Buckhannon and its surrounding areas to ask for non-perishable foods to benefit families through the Upshur Parish House during the upcoming giving holiday season.
For residents whose houses do not fall along a route or who are not home during the trick-or-treat time, the Parish House (68 College Ave, Buckhannon, WV 26201) is always willing to accept donations from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Please show your support to the Buckhannon community by having a few cans of nonperishable foods ready for the Wesleyan trick-or-treaters. The Parish House’s most-needed food items are canned vegetables (corn, green beans, etc.), soup, canned pasta, canned pumpkin, and cranberry sauce.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
For more information about this event, contact the WE LEAD Poverty Reduction team’s Team Representative, Sienna Chenoweth (chenoweth.ss.2023@wvwc.edu), or the CCE’s Director of Community Engagement, Jessica Vincent (vincent_j@wvwc.edu).
