The week leading up to Halloween brought plenty of adventure as Moose Jaw Families for Change Inc. (MJFFC) participants and staff from the Kinsmen Café stopped by several local businesses on Oct. 30 to deliver seasonal goodie bags and share the spirit of all things sweet and spooky.

Staff and participants were busy visiting locations throughout the city, including the Western Development Museum, Maple Leaf Bakery, Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce, Moose Jaw Co-op, Seaborn Agencies Ltd., Moose Jaw Housing Authority, the Moose Jaw Express, and others as part of their community outreach.

The group thanked residents and organizations online for “continued support, kindness, and community spirit,” noting it helps make their programs possible. “We had a great time dropping off Halloween treats to some of our amazing local businesses,” the organization shared.

Festivities began earlier in the week with a Halloween-themed photo scavenger hunt on Oct. 28, where participants worked together to track down spooky decorations around the community.

“A big shout-out to all the dedicated Halloween lovers in the community for your amazing displays — you made our hunt extra fun,” organizers added.

The celebration continued on Oct. 31, when MJFFC hosted a day of pizza, games, costumes and treats, supported by a donation from South Country Equipment.

Founded in 2000, MJFFC is a non-profit organization providing residential, day program, and vocational supports for people living with disabilities. It operates three food service locations and employs more than 50 people in the community.

MJFFC is located at 335 Fourth Avenue Southwest and can be reached at 306-693-2271. The affiliated Kinsmen Café, open to the public, is located at 431 Fourth Avenue Southwest and can be reached at 306-690-1484.
