In just one week, most kids will be transforming into knights and fairies, pirates and princesses. They’ll go door-to-door to gather as much candy as they can carry. But for some of the kids who visit Give Kids The World, our Monday night Hare-raising Halloween Party is their first chance to trick-or-treat due to the limitations of critical illness.

As you and your kids make these Village-inspired trick-or-treat bags, we hope you’ll have a spooktacular time – and keep our brave children and families in your thoughts this Halloween.
