On October 24th, Members of Post 239 gave out 675 pieces of candy, 200 American Legion Comic Books and a $250.00 donation to the Upper Township rescue Squad! (Editors note: Great job on your co-sponsoring the event and your first time participating in this event!)

Children in costumes receive candy at a trunk-or-treat event with adults and decorated vehicles.
