Spotsylvania, VA – Residents can help make Halloween a little sweeter this week as the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office hosts its annual Candy Drive at the Southpoint Walmart. Deputies will be collecting candy donations Thursday, Oct. 17, and Saturday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, all candy collected will be used for the department’s upcoming Trunk or Treat community event later this month. The event invites families to enjoy a safe, festive Halloween experience while engaging with local law enforcement.
The donation site is located at the Southpoint Walmart, 10001 Southpoint Parkway, where deputies will be on hand to greet residents and accept unopened bags of candy.
Organizers encourage families to stop by, say hello, and drop off candy contributions to ensure there are plenty of treats to go around.
The Trunk or Treat event, typically held at the Sheriff’s Office headquarters, draws hundreds of local children each year and serves as a key community outreach effort.
Those unable to attend this week’s drive can contact the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office for additional drop-off times or donation options.
