Spooky season is just under a month away and that means we’re approaching our annual Trunk-or-Treat!

On Oct. 31st from 12-2pm, we will be hosting our Trunk-or-Treat event at the Lake City Lot in Canal Park (376 Canal Park Dr. Duluth, MN). There will be tons of trunks filled with candy, games, music and a costume contest with a prize for best dressed!

So grab your costumes, candy buckets and be ready for a spooky day! See you there!

*If you or someone you know is interested in having a trunk of the event, reach out to us at [email protected].

Big shoutout to Twin Ports Trailer Trash for donating their services to help get rid of our old couches, and make room for new ones! Great crew of guys! We appreciate you all!

Another year down, another great backpack drive in the books!

Nothing better than getting to serve the people in our community! We gave out 1,000+ bags filled with school supplies, 70+ haircuts/styles, 2,000+ burgers/brats/dogs/drinks, and 3,000+ smiling faces!

I want to give a thank you to our staff and volunteers. You all are the boots on the ground that make this happen year after year!

To our sponsors, Cirrus, Old National Bank, Old Dutch Foods, Menards, maurices and Walmart! Without you, we’d never be able to provide these students with school supplies!

Until next year!
