Trick or Treat --- FOR FOOD!

Each 4th Sunday, DGroups take a break from their individual meetings and all high school teens gather together for an "all together - all grades" time.  Some months it's disc golf, or a movie or such.  This month was a couple of hours of fun, and food! 
     After meeting for some pizza, the costumed high school teens took off on foot in the neighborhood around 24:7 - trick or treating.  (I know, you're thinking, "Really?  Aren't they too old?")  But it wasn't for candy for themselves.  Their bags were to collect canned goods to help the CEC (Community Enrichment Center)'s food pantry.  With the holidays coming, the food pantry will be hit hard so the teens had fun helping put a small dent in helping fill the empty shelves.    Oh it wasn't all hard work.  They also had an awards ceremony - for the person with the best costume.  Congratulations Peace Warnock - aka "Chicken Big".

    And thanks to everyone who gave up some personal Sunday evening football watching, homework finishing, lazy afternoon time to help others.  Trick or treating will surely bring a smile to the faces of those home owners this Saturday night, as they hand out candy to smaller costumed children.  Hopefully, they will be remembering a group of costumed teenagers who rang their doorbells on a cloudy Sunday afternoon - asking for treats.  Not for themselves, but for families whose only Halloween wish will be to have dinner on their table that night.
