The Statesboro Family YMCA will host the 5th Annual Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 26th, 2024 from 4 pm-6 pm at the YMCA (409 Clairborne Ave., Statesboro GA 30458). Local businesses and organizations will host trunks to hand out candies and goodies. Costumes are optional but encouraged.
The Trunk or Treat event is designed to provide community members with a safe alternative to door-to- door trick or treating.
“I love this event; it is so great to see all of the amazing families and see the smiles on the kids’ faces,” said Hannah Beggs, Executive Branch Director. “Last year we had 32 community organizations decorate their trunks and provide candy to over 1,000 kids. I am looking forward to the overwhelming community support again this year.”
Vendors & Volunteers
There will be 45 Organizations and businesses that will be participating in this year’s event. All are asked to bring at least 10-12 bags of candy with them and arrive no later than 2:30 PM on the day of the event to set up.
The business or organization with the best decorated trunk will receive a YMCA gift basket with a FREE 1-month YMCA membership.
