Annually, Essex Rotary contributes money to help fund the $25,000 needed to put on this event. We need club members and friends to consider volunteering to pack meals during the event.
We have 50 packing slots reserved to fill for this 2 hour time commitment with the goal to pack over 100,000 meals! If you join the effort, we bet this will be one of the highlights of your year - so much fun and fulfilling.
Amy Jackman coordinates this community volunteer opportunity for Essex Rotary.

The Essex Junction Rec and Parks is again organizing its annual Trick or Treat Trail for kids who walk the path with plenty of energy and excitement and dressed in fabulous costumes. At the end of the trail, there is the Pumpkin Palooza, a pyramid of 600+ pumpkins. We'll carve pumpkins to add to the pyramid then we have a table with a wide selection of treats and other giveaways. Club members serve as volunteers. If you have any questions, please contact Max Seaton by email, phone or text at 802-999-3945.
