Although it will not happen on Oct. 31 as it usually does, the community trick or treat for food shelf will happen on Oct. 25 from 4 to 7 p.m.

This year will be the 11th year that the youth of the Staples area community have gathered to go trick or treating for the Staples Area Food Shelf. This gathering of food helps supply the food shelf as we enter into the holiday times.

This is sponsored by the churches in the community and all youth from middle school through high school are encouraged to participate. Meet at Faith Lutheran Church (430 12th St. NE) at 4 p.m.

The youth will be riding on hay racks for the collecting and they will have adults and be identified as the youth with the churches in our community.

If you live in the country, won't be home, or your home does not get visited and you have something to contribute you may bring it to Faith Lutheran Church and we will get it to the food shelf.
