The 8th Halloween on the Hill was a great success and topped all previous years. First, a huge thank you to all the neighbors and volunteers who participated. This event could not happen without many people generously contributing time and resources. Thank you to Hope Church on Ingersoll for providing volunteers to collect items and Hoyt Sherman Place for hosting the drop-off point. We also received media coverage from Channel 13 NBC and Channel 5 ABC.

Community Impact

• We collected over 6 barrels of items for the pantry in the first HOUR. According to DMARC, the event collected:
• 1,572 food items (increase of over 500 items)
• 297 personal care items (increase of 277 items)
• $140.66 in cash (increase $86)

For the first time, Beacon of Life participated by selling cider (sold out!) and popcorn balls. Money was raised to support their important mission and they are excited to participate next year.
