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.
