LIFT Children of Middlesex and the Love4Kids Foundation are supporting a safe and easy way to trick or treat this year. Four locations will be set up for the convenience of families throughout our large county. Families will be able to stay in their area, experience decorated trunks and pick up safe treats provided by Middlesex County churches and Love4Kids.

All Centers for Disease Control guidelines will be observed, including wearing face masks, gloves and social distancing. For families in the Church View/Jamaica area, the location will be Hermitage Baptist Church at 94 Wares Bridge Road, Church View. The Urbanna/Saluda location will be at Antioch Baptist Church located at 159 Oakes Landing Road in Saluda next to the historic Middlesex County Courthouse. The Cryer Center will cover families in the Locust Hill area located at 7485 General Puller Highway and Zoar Baptist Church will serve for those in the Deltaville area. It is located next to the Deltaville Community Association building on General Puller Highway (Route 33).

Volunteers at each location will give out treats from 3-5 p.m. on Halloween Day, Saturday, Oct. 31.
