Help Bring Halloween to ALL kids regardless of any limitation.
“Not every child can eat…. But, every child can Trick-or-Treat”
We are excited to announce we have partnered with Mommies of Miracles to help bring Halloween to ALL Kids regardless of any limitation. Kids love candy. However, for many kids candy is simply not an option. Between childhood obesity, juvenile diabetes, food allergies, feeding tubes, and other special needs, the population of children excluded from Halloween traditions grows each year.
Help make Halloween fun for ALL kids!
It’s as easy as 1-2-3
1) Add some non-food treats
2) Print out a decal (available for your home, business or for your child to wear)
3) Share Halloween fun with ALL kids
We’re not suggesting you ditch candy all together, just please ADD some non-food treats to your Halloween offerings so kids who can’t eat candy have fun options too!
There are many non-candy treats available, and you may be surprised to learn that many of these treat-alternatives cost about the same as candy.
Treat Ideas:

Decals: Can be hung on the home, visible to trick-or-treaters, to identify your home as a home offering non-food options.
If you would like your child to participate, download a badge
Cut out or peel off & pin or stick the badge to your child’s costume. When participating homes see your child wearing the badge they will know to provide a non-food treat.
 Help us make Halloween more INCLUSIVE this year by spreading the word. The more people that know about the project, the more successful it will be.

There is also a very similar campaign going on for food allergy awareness. Ultimately it is the same to get people to provide non food options.The Teal Pumpkin Project. You should team up instead of starting something different it will get confusing for people and the messages will get lost. http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project
This campaign has been run for several years. I agree that teaming up would be a good idea, but this campaign is not new.
