Over the past 25 years, the Waltham Group, a Brandeis student-run community service organization, has transformed Halloween from a night of selfish indulgence into a night of community service and immeasurable generosity. Instead of trick-or-treating for candy, as is the norm, volunteers go door to door throughout Waltham asking neighbors for canned goods to donate to Waltham’s soup kitchen, Bristol Lodge. If you would like to get involved with “Halloween for the Hungry,” stop by the Waltham Group table in Usdan this week and donate canned goods, which you can place in special boxes in the Shapiro Campus Center. If you would like more information on how to participate, you can also email either Tina Zhang at xiaoyaaa@brandeis.edu or Caroline Ahn at cahn@brandeis.edu. Have a happy, safe, and sweet Halloween!
