\u201cInstead 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,\u201d Elmcor Night of Safety Organizer Rorbery Parra said. \u201cIt\u2019s very important to our community because we want to make sure that our community knows that we support them, that we\u2019re here for them and that we\u2019re always going to have a safe place for them to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
