Sunrise Presbyterian Church Special Halloween Success

The Special Halloween project at Sunrise Presbyterian Church completed another year, serving 20 children, 9 families, that otherwise would not be able to trick or treat.  While Halloween is an opportunity to dress up and seek candy for most children, there are a few who are unable to trick or treat due to a variety of reasons:  sensory issues, lack of mobility, medical fragility, and other limitations.  For the second year, Sunrise has worked to fill that gap.
