Trick-or-Treating For Food Donations

High school students in Chatham-Kent will be going door-to-door tonight, but they won't be looking for candy.

"It is a WE campaign where students go trick-or-treating on Halloween night to collect non-perishable food items to donate to their local food banks," says student Morgan Dekker.

The items collected will go to Outreach for Hunger and other local food banks.

"When you're a teenager sometimes it feels like you don't have a lot of power to help out people in need locally. But this really gives an opportunity to people, even in elementary schools, to do something," says UCC student Jillian Akrey.

Students will be out in Chatham, Blenheim, Ridgetown, and Wallaceburg from 5pm-8pm. They will be wearing name tags or identify themselves when they come to your door.

Students from ESPC will be doing the same thing tonight in Tilbury.
