The annual community Trunk or Treat event, hosted by Sandhills Community College and
Sandhoke Early College High School, will take place on Saturday, October 25, from
3 to 5:30 p.m. at the Sandhills Hoke Center campus.
The Trunk or Treat event welcomes children and families from Hoke County and nearby
areas, from grades K-12. This popular, long-standing event brings the community together
for an afternoon of fun. Guests are invited to wear their best costume and enjoy music,
games, food trucks, slushies, and lots of candy.
Volunteers will hand out candy from their car trunks and kids are encouraged to bring
something to collect their treats. Campus community members interested in volunteering
as trunk participants should sign up in advance. Any SCC organization, department,
or club wishing to participate in Trunk or Treat as a decorated trunk should register
ahead of time. Candy donations are welcome from any department. To donate please email
Rosa McAllister-McRae mcallisterr@sandhills.edu to arrange a drop-off. All donations must be received by Friday, October 24.
McAllister-McRae, Sr. Director of Engagement and Public Relations, said, “Trunk or
Treat is one of our favorite traditions, and thanks to our amazing team – Connecting
Hoke Through Action, Service and Engagement or CHASE– it keeps getting better every
year! We love seeing the community come together in costume for candy, games, and
good vibes. Come out, have fun, and let’s make this the spookiest, sweetest event
yet.”
Guests are also encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. The Trunk or Treat will
be held at 1110 East Central Avenue, Raeford, NC 28376 and parking attendants will
be hand. For additional information, please feel free to email Rosa McAllister-McRae
