“Instead of celebrating Halloween, we celebrate October and the holidays, and having a safe place for the youth to come and not be outside in the streets, potentially getting into trouble or getting into anything unsafe. We have the safe space here for them to have fun, play games, win prizes and just have a good time,” Elmcor Night of Safety Organizer Rorbery Parra said. “It’s very important to our community because we want to make sure that our community knows that we support them, that we’re here for them and that we’re always going to have a safe place for them to go.”
