High school students are planning a downtown Halloween Party for families on Friday October 28th from 5:30-8pm at the Timothy Fiske House (747 Washington Street in Holliston at the corner of Washington Street and Hollis Street). The event will be both indoors and outside, providing good family fun for all.
Children and adults of all ages are encouraged to come have fun in Halloween costumes and high spirits. Trick-or-treating fun stations will be created and run by the Student Division of the Holliston Community Action Fund (HCAF). There will be a best costume competition, a Halloween Raffle, popcorn, apple cider and more, including Halloween themed games and prizes. Rain date: Saturday Oct 29th, 5:30pm.
The HCAF is a local nonprofit that exists to provide emergency assistance to families in need and to work towards community betterment projects. Over the past few years, President John Drohan and the HCAF board members have been busy cutting checks to assist local families in need during the pandemic and the resulting hard economic times; fundraisers like this are an essential part of the work of the HCAF.
How does a resident ask for assistance? There is a determination of need, performed by the Youth and Family Services Office of Holliston. If you are a community member in need of emergency assistance, please contact Jaclyn Winer, LICSW, Holliston Youth and Family Services at (508) 429-0620 or at https://www.townofholliston.us/youth-and-family-services
