Make Halloween Safe & Spooky with Goodwill!
Like most holidays in 2020, Halloween will be a little unusual! Staying safe this Halloween is all about avoiding large gatherings and close contact with others, which might mean putting traditions like big parties and trick-or-treating on hold.
The good news is that you can still celebrate all the fun of Halloween at home! Make your Halloween safe and enjoyable with these tips from Ohio Valley Goodwill:
