Halloween is back at the club

FALLBROOK – The Boys & Girls Clubs of North County hosted their spooktacular Trunk or Treat event, Friday, Oct. 29.

Cars and trucks sponsored by staff members, board members and parents lined the parking lot of the Ingold Clubhouse to pass out candy to kids. Both members of the club and children from the surrounding communities came in their costumes for some trick or treat fun.

In 2019, the Club hosted their first Trunk or Treat event with nearly 200 children in attendance. However, in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, the club was not able to offer the community event.

“We wanted to provide a safe place for our members, and the kids in our community to go for some trick or treating,” said Lisa Ware, Director of Operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs of North County. “After missing 2020, we were so excited to see the lines of children who attended the event dressed up in their costumes.”

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of North County is “to inspire and enable all young people, especially those that need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.”

That mission is carried out each day in the Ingold Clubhouse, four school sites in Fallbrook and one school site in Rainbow. The patient and caring club staff that build ongoing relationships with club members are the key to the impact they have on the kids.
