Trick-or-treating for the Glace Bay food bank

People in Glace Bay will be asked for more than treats this Halloween.

A community group will be going doortodoor looking for non-perishable food, which will thenbe delivered to the Glace Bay food bank.

Ian Cantle of the programTrick or Eatsaidthat alongwith candy for the little ones, households are being invitedto have healthy food available.

"If it's already at the door, it's a lot easier," he said."We don't have to interfere with the little trick-or-treaters."

Children are welcome to join the effort, too.

"We have a lot of families that participate,"Cantle said."The kids get the candy,we get the food."

The Trick or Eat websitedescribes the campaign as "a national day of actionfor young people to come together and actively show that they want to see a difference on the issue of hunger on their campuses and in their communities."

When he was a student at the NSCC campus in Truro, Cantle ran the Trick or Eat program there.

This year he is helping his fiance, Michelle Doubleday, who is a student at the NSCC Marconi Campus, and her friend Nikayla Rosnok organize the event.
