Sensory Friendly Indoor Trunk or Treat 2024
Description of event for families:
Join us for a low-impact Sensory Friendly Trunk or Treat for friends with special needs and their families. This not-so-spooky event will be held at the Faith Community Church (105 N 68th Ave, Coopersville, MI), on Saturday October 19 from 11-1pm.
The first half hour, from 11-11:30, is set aside for families needing accommodation to register for a 5-minute block of time to have an even lower-impact experience. If your loved one needs special accommodations, please register; otherwise, you are invited to join us anytime between 11:30-1pm.
There will be candy and non-food treasures- plenty to go around. We will also have snacks, area resources information, as well as handicap-accessible restrooms. The entire family is invited to come on out for some Halloween fun, and there is no age or ability limit! We will have games along with apple cider slushes and popcorn.
Register for the 11-11:30 times slots here. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AFA62FABFC1-51020502-sensory#/
Otherwise, everyone is welcome to come from 11:30-1pm.

***Information for Volunteers***
We are asking people to bring items to decorate a 4ft table and to pass out candy and non-food treats to families that attend. Trunk/table hosts are asked to provide at least 150 pieces of candy, and on the day of the event, each table will be provided with non-candy treats to give out as well. Plan to set up your table between 10 - 10:30AM.
We have some suggested guidelines for table hosts: no masks or painted faces for hosts, nothing too scary, no flashing lights or loud music, no clowns. Let your imagination run wild as you decorate your table into a Halloween Wonderland by creating a magical, spooky, or whimsical experience for families.
We are also in need of volunteers to help with welcoming, providing and/or serving snacks, and engaging with our guests.
Sign up to volunteer or host a table or serve during the event. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AFA62FABFC1-51020533-sensory#/
