Help us make Halloween Spooktackular!

Join us in creating a fun and memorable Halloween for the children living at Hilltop Haven Family Shelter and in the surrounding neighborhood!

Our 6th Annual Trunk or Treat will be held outside Hilltop Haven Family Shelter in Paterson. We close off the street and turn it into a festive Halloween celebration filled with costumes, pumpkin painting, and safe trick-or-treating.

One of the best ways to make this event extra special is to decorate your car and hand out candy to the children. We would love to fill the street with creative, festive trunks so every child has a fun place to stop while trick-or-treating.

Decorate your car and hand out candy to the children

Bring your creativity, decorate your trunk, and help us give these children a Halloween afternoon to remember!

Costume Collection

For the children living in shelters, Halloween isn’t the magical night it is for many other children because they are without costumes. Help these children experience the magic of Halloween by donating new or gently used costumes for distribution at a future Trunk or Treat Event.

You can drop off costumes at our office at 250 Braen Ave in Wyckoff, Tuesday through Friday from 1:00 - 5:00.
