We’ve been receiving the best treats we could ask for! The ability to continue to help our neighbors!

The annual Mega Metacomet Halloween Thriller is back on Metacomet Road in Plainville, where neighbors have decorated their yards and are collecting food donations for the Plainville Community Food Pantry.

🎃👻 Hey, Happy Halloween Weekend, friends!! 👻🎃

We hope everyone gets out there, has some fun, makes some memories, and most importantly, stays safe this weekend! 🧡

Our friends up at the **Metacomet Halloween Display** have already helped make this an incredible Halloween season for the Pantry, and we're so grateful for all the goblins, ghouls, and generous Nutmeggers who have stepped up to help our neighbors! 🖤

If you're heading up to enjoy the display this weekend and are still feeling the giving spirit, we're especially in need of **shampoo, toothpaste, and other personal hygiene essentials.** These everyday necessities can be easy to overlook, but they make a real difference for the families we serve.

Have a spooktacular weekend, Plainville! Stay safe, have fun, and thank you for continuing to show up for your community. ❤️🎃

🎃 The goblins and ghouls of Plainville are AMAZING! 👻

Thanks to the incredible generosity surrounding the Metacomet Halloween display, we've already collected over 1,000 pounds of food! And we're on pace to set a NEW Halloween record! 🧡 We can't thank this community enough for continuing to show up for your neighbors!

With all these wonderful donations coming in, just a quick reminder of what we can accept:

🥫 Food Donations: No expired food, opened packages, or dented cans, please.

👕 Clothing Donations: All clothing must be clean, stain-free, free of smoke or other odors, and have working zippers and buttons. No underwear or bras unless brand new and in their original packaging.

These guidelines help us ensure that everything we pass along to our neighbors is safe, clean, and ready to use.

Thank you, Plainville, and Daniel Bucci for showing us that the real magic of Halloween is a community that cares! 🎃🧡
