Halloween arrives at KidWorks a little ahead of Oct. 31, and we invite you to help us provide candy treats for our students to enjoy.

“Trunk or Treat” takes place on Friday, Oct. 22 from 3 to 5 p.m. at our Dan Donahue Center.  

Students from all three of our centers come dressed in Halloween costumes to play games, compete for prizes, enjoy snacks spend time with friends.  

Volunteers, teachers and parents park their cars in our front or side parking lots, and many vehicles are decorated in the spirit of the holiday, adding to the fun when students visit each car to socialize and collect candy.

Hundreds of pieces of candy and treats are needed for the event. We invite you to be part of Trunk or Treat by donating bulk candy through a secure online purchase at

Or bags of wrapped bulk candy can be dropped off before Oct. 22 at the Dan Donahue Center:
1902 W. Chestnut Ave.,
Santa Ana

Please call to arrange an appointment time at 714-834-9400.

Trunk or Treat debuted at KidWorks in 2018 and returns after we skipped the event in 2020 due to the pandemic.

“Trunk or Treat creates a space and a way for everyone--partners, volunteers, staff, students and parents--to enjoy decorating and donating at Halloween,” says Rachel Cervantes, our Arts Coordinator. “KidWorks thanks everyone who donates, participates and volunteers, making this event one our students are very eager to see return.”
