Burlington County Commissioner Tom Pullion helped give out candy during last year’s Trunk-or-Treat.
The spooky season is here, and the Burlington County Sheriff’s Office, the County Commissioners and the Special Services School District are excited to once again offer an inclusive Trunk-or-Treat for children of all abilities.
The Burlington County Trunk-or-Treat for special needs children will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Burlington County Special Services School in Westampton.
The free event provides a safe and inclusive destination for children to dress in costume and visit decorated cars and emergency vehicles to receive small toys, candy and other goodies. There will also be music, games, holiday crafts and more.
This year marks the sixth Trunk-or-Treat organized by the sheriff’s office, commissioners and Special Services School District. The Burlington County Department of Human Services, Burlington County Department of Public Safety, Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, Burlington County Parks, Burlington County Animal Shelter and various local first responders are also expected to participate, along with teachers, staff and administrators from the Special Services School District.
“Trunk-or-Treat is one of the most anticipated events on the calendar and one our school district is proud to partner with the commissioners and sheriff’s office,” said Tyler Burrell, president of the combined Burlington County Special Services/Burlington County Institute of Technology School Board. “It’s an event that brings communities together for a safe celebration of the holiday, and it always delivers a lot of joy to children and their families.”
