Rhinelander FBLA/DECA takes on Trick or Can food drive

The Rhinelander High School FBLA/DECA Club is once again participating in the statewide community service project known as Trick Or Can. Members will be dropping off bags for community donations on Oct. 16 and will be back around to pick up the non-perishable food items on Oct. 25, the School District of Rhinelander announced in a press release.

“Halloween marks a time each year when community members are willing to open their doors and interact with one another spreading joy and candy aplenty, but it is also a great time of need in our community,” the release states. “That is why so many DECA chapters across the state have begun to adopt Trick or Can into their repertoire of community service events.”

The event is simple, on Oct. 16 Rhinelander High School students will go out into the community strategically and safely distributing donation bags to homes with a flyer explaining what can and cannot be donated. The community’s job as a recipient is to place non-perishable food items into the bag with non-perishable food items and be ready to have it picked up on Oct. 25. If you will not be home on that day, you can just leave them out front with a note.

All donations will go to the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry tol be redistributed to families who need a little extra help this fall in our community. All assistance is appreciated!
