Martinsburg Trunk or Treat + Foster Parent Info Session
October 25, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Calling all ghosts, ballerinas, pumpkins, superheroes, vampires, doctors and more! 👻 🎃 💚 Dress up in your favorite Halloween costume, decorate your car, bring candy and join KVC in Martinsburg for a Trunk or Treat event on October 25 from 5-7 PM. You and your family will enjoy activities like trick or treating from trunk to trunk, a kids costume and best decorated trunk contest with prizes, and more. This is a free event!
Our team will also provide info about foster parenting to anyone interested in offering care, support and love to youth in foster care. Fostering provides a child who has experienced abuse or neglect with a safe, loving environment. On top of this, it gives you the opportunity to show a child the love and care they deserve while growing emotionally, mentally and spiritually as you teach life skills and give support. Throughout the Eastern Panhandle area, there are approximately 500 youth in foster care.
Event address: 261 Aikens Center, Martinsburg, WV 25404
RSVP to this Martinsburg Trunk or Treat event on our Facebook page!
