BUCKHANNON -- This Halloween, the WE LEAD Poverty Reduction team and the Center for Community Engagement and Leadership Development are excited to host their 22nd Annual Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods event.
During the city-wide trick-or-treat from 6-7:30 p.m. on October 31, 2026, students from West Virginia Wesleyan College will be visiting neighborhoods in Buckhannon and its surrounding areas to ask for non-perishable foods to benefit families through the Upshur Parish House during the upcoming giving holiday season.
For residents whose houses do not fall along a route or who are not home during the trick-or-treat time, the Parish House (68 College Ave, Buckhannon, WV 26201) is always willing to accept donations from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Please show your support to the Buckhannon Community by having a few cans of nonperishable foods ready for the Wesleyan trick-or-treaters. The Parish House's most-needed food items this year are:
* Mac and Cheese Cups
* Boxed Mac and Cheese
* Cereal
* Canned Pumpkin
* Canned Evaporated Milk
* Snack Mixes (Crackers, pretzels, chips)
* Canned Green Beans
* Canned Corn
* Boxed Stuffing
* Canned Cranberry Sauce
* Canned Spaghetti Sauce
Your support is greatly appreciated.
