Happy Halloween from all of us at InCommunity! 👻

Across our programs, individuals and staff have been enjoying the season through costume parties, pumpkin decorating, and Halloween fun designed to be inclusive and accessible for all.

A favorite fall tradition returned as individuals from our Beyond Horizon Center (BHC) program visited the pumpkin patch at Midway United Methodist Church in Douglasville, GA. Year after year, Midway’s volunteers greet us with open arms, creating a space full of warmth, acceptance, and joy. From picking pumpkins to snapping photos, the day was filled with laughter and lasting memories.

We’re proud to be part of a community that makes space for everyone to celebrate, express themselves, and feel seen.

From all of us at InCommunity - thank you for being part of that mission. And Happy Halloween!

More InCommunity event recaps and photos coming soon…

Costumes shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort. 🎭

For many individuals with I/DD, Halloween outfits can trigger sensory overload -but it doesn’t have to be that way.
