Every year, The Open Door Food Pantry joins our Halloween Party with their food truck, handing out fresh fruit to partygoers! All the food is donated, and their amazing team volunteers their time to make it happen.

This year, we were thrilled to give back to The Open Door as a small thank-you for everything they do to provide vital services to our community year-round.

A huge thank-you to the Gloucester High School Drama Club for lending their creativity and talent to this year’s Halloween Party with face painting!

Even though the students volunteer their time for the party, we were happy to make a donation to support the production of their upcoming show, The Sound of Music. 🎶

They are working hard rehearsing —be sure to catch the show November 20th, 21st, and 22nd! You won’t want to miss it! 👏✨
