Trick-can-Treat is BAM’s annual Halloween event. Every year for the past 5 years, BAM has been volunteering to collect cans on Halloween night to donated to the Minnesota Emergency Food Network. Last year we raised over 2,500 lbs of food for the emergency food shelter, shattering our goal for the year and awarding us Carlson’s Community Service Award. We are continuing this annual event on Friday, October 31, 2008.

A week before Halloween a bunch of volunteers and the BAM Board go to a neighborhood around the Twin Cities to ask residents to start collecting canned food to give to a food shelter and also put up flyers. Then, Halloween night, we will go and collect the non-perishable food items. Afterward all participating students are welcomed to unwind at Starbucks with free drinks and goodie-bags provided by BAM.

This year we plan to have the biggest Trick-can-Treat yet! Please join us this year in our cause “Fall Fight for Hunger.”

Trick-can-Treat

When: Friday, October 31, 2008 4:30pm-7pm
Where: Meet at the Carlson Turnaround

Residents of Edina

If you received a flyer at your residence or spoke to a BAM representative, remember to put your bags of non-perishable food items where we can see them (from 5pm-7pm). If we dropped a flyer at your residence, expect us to follow-up and check if you have any food. We thank you all for your contributions!

Sign-up for Volunteers!

Want to be a Trick-can-Treat volunteer? Sign-up below!

Note: If you become a volunteer, it would be preferable to have your own vehicle so that we can fit more people in carpools. However, if you don’t, we will try our best to place you in a carpool group.

Feel free to dress up on Halloween, some of the Board will be dressed up in crazy costumes too!

Hey BAMily!

We at the Board wanted to thank you all for your support and showing up! We had over 100 people show up for the event! That makes us super excited. We’ll be posting pictures soon.
