FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project helps make sure all children will come home on Halloween night with something they can enjoy. It just takes one simple act: offering non-food treats, such as glow sticks or small toys, as an alternative to candy.

Last year, households from all 50 [U.S.] states and 14 countries participated. This is a worldwide movement to create a safer, happier Halloween for all trick-or-treaters.
