This year’s Halloween celebration was a spooktacular success! Our Alambre building came alive with creativity, laughter, and community spirit.

Trunk or Treat kicked off the festivities, where participants explored a lineup of our decked out trunks bursting with Halloween decor. Along the way, they received essential goodies to take home.

Our Pumpkin Decorating Contest brought out the artistic side of each department. The competition was fierce, but one department emerged victorious with the most boo-tiful pumpkin design!

Our costume contest is always a crowd favorite, with awards for the funniest, scariest, and most original. Each department brought their top game, and we were blown away by the creativity and effort.

What truly made this event special was how involved our participants and staff were in dressing up. It's clear that behind every costume is a family’s love and care. And of course, our staff’s enthusiasm and engagement added to the fun!

We’re already counting down to next year’s celebration!
