Costumed kiddos and their families once again are invited to trick-or-treat at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.
MMI’s seventh annual trick-or-treat event, slated for Sunday, Oct. 20, is open to individuals with disabilities and their families.
“Our event removes barriers for families living with disabilities,” said Jacqueline Hankins-Berry, administrative programs associate. “In our mission toward inclusion, this provides an accessible, fun and non-judgmental spot for families to trick-or-treat.”
Hankins-Berry expects to have 30 stations for trick-or-treaters to visit, claiming treats and trinkets along the way.
Visitors can use the east entrance of the building, 6902 Pine St., for the event. Trick-or-treating will be offered across the first floor from 1 to 3 p.m.
Last year’s event drew more than 500 families.
John Keenan of the UNMC Department of Strategic Communications said his department has staffed a table at the event for the past four years.
“The MMI Halloween event is always a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s exciting to meet parents, see all the great costumes on the trick-or-treaters and work with our MMI colleagues and community partners to provide a fun and enjoyable day for the people and children MMI serves.”
