Welcome to FOC's Trick or Treat Spooktacular!
|
On October 29th, our Day Program in Medford, NJ hosted a special Halloween event for our residents and Day Program participants. Our individuals came dressed for the occasion, and got to participate in a number of fun and engaging holiday activities throughout the day. |
Our Day Program was bustling, with residents and program participants moving to and from different activity stations before stepping outside to "Trunk or Treat" with our staff. Everyone was really feeling the holiday spirit and they weren't afraid of showing it! |
We certainly couldn't help but place an emphasis on "treats" that day! Everyone got to go home with a bag of goodies, and after lunch everyone in attendance got to enjoy some delicious cake. |
We would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to all of our Day Program and Residential Staff who came together to make this event truly special for the individuals we serve. You guys are the absolute best and we are so lucky to have you on our amazing team!
