A collection of Arc of Essex County’s vans were transformed into a festive fleet for a Trunk or Treat celebration at the West Caldwell Hub on Halloween. Each van was creatively decorated with spooky and silly seasonal flair, such as Jungle Adventure or Frankenstein. Dressed up in playful and frightful costumes—from Scooby Doo to Freddie Kreuger and everything in between—participants visited each trunk to collect treats including candy, cookies, yogurt, and pudding cups. Vans were allocated for special dietary needs so that everyone could participate if they wanted to join in the fun.

The Arc of Essex County’s Day Program participants enjoyed Halloween festivities throughout the centers. The month also included a spirit week, learning sessions at The Office Tavern & Grill for Jobs Club participants from SYA, a trip to the NJSSAN Fall Conference for Opportunity Zone self-advocates (click here to read more), lots of creative visits to Studio Arc, and more.
