 “To bring to the forefront our likenesses, not our differences – Spooky offers just that. The goal is to help fight hunger, and who can disagree with that? It is a simple, fun way to bring people together for the common good.” “It is my belief
that children learn by doing and that understanding comes
from experience. Spooky provides a simple, fun opportunity
for children to be a part of something good.” -- “Three things that I absolutely love about Spooky: 1) I want to expose my children to the joys of community service beginning at an early age. 2) Spooky is a perfect family project. Our entire family can be involved with it, regardless of age. 3) It’s Spooky To Be Hungry® is a project that brings our neighborhood together, and gives us a sense of community.” “I know pride is one of “those” sins, but when the work was completed, we couldn’t be more proud of ourselves. The kids were thrilled and felt good about what they had done.” “The sense of community grows with the number of people involved. The diversity of people who came out to help was heartwarming, both in the sense of race and age.” “It couldn’t be any simpler!” --
“Spooky is incredibly well-organized. It’s a project that does what it says it’s going to, and makes it fun and rewarding along the way.”
“Working with Spooky is a joy. I’ve gotten great guidance
and ‘on the job training’ to help me be successful in my Spooky
role. I have never worked with more committed people, and
the level of appreciation volunteers show each other is unbelievable.”
– “Spooky is giving people an easy,
fun way to fit volunteering into their hectic schedules. The
Spooky “blueprint” could work in hundreds of communities across
the nation.” -- “It’s

“We all enjoyed working to collect the food, and actually
met many neighbors we probably would have never spoken with
had we not participated in Spooky.” – “Spooky really promotes the coming
together of a community. We had people from many different
backgrounds joining together for a common good with one goal
in mind - to feed the hungry.” – “My children love being part of
this special day. They look forward to it year after year,
and make sure we stay involved.” “As a newcomer,
getting involved with Spooky made all the difference in feeling
welcomed here. I met terrific people, got to know my
neighbors, and felt much more connected to the larger community.
I love being involved with something that really makes a difference
-- in the community and for myself.”
-- “In the six years our family has been involved with It’s Spooky to be Hungry®, it is the one service project our entire family looks forward to. Our children love racing to the doors to collect food and donations. My husband and I enjoy meeting new neighbors. Our house is where the neighborhood food is gathered, and our family loves seeing the collection of food as it accumulates. The kids are excited with every box weighed, and we never fail to be overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and neighbors.” “With such a brief time commitment, Spooky has always given
our family a project to do together that has taught our children
about community needs and the importance of giving and sharing.”
– "I love being with my kids
and the big bunch of neighborhood children that join us as
we do our collection. Their enthusiasm and enjoyment are infectious,
and the pride they obviously feel about doing something for
others makes my day!" -- "Feeding the hungry and building a community: The idea
is so simple and so good, it's downright spooky!" --
