U.S. Sugar Distributing 'Trunk Or Treat' Sweets To Kids In Small-Towns Florida

Clewiston, FL– This Halloween, the people of U.S. Sugar are teaming up with the cities of Moore Haven, LaBelle, Clewiston, Belle Glade, and Indiantown as well as local sheriffs’ departments to safely distribute sweet treats to area children. Candy will be available to all children in attendance at the below events.

“The sweetest time of year is upon us, and the people of U.S. Sugar are happy to be doing our part to help provide Glades-area children with a safe place to get sweet treats,” said U.S. Sugar Community Relations Manager Brannnan Thomas.

“Allowing families to safely receive candy in our communities on Halloween is a priority here in Moore Haven,” said Glades County Sheriff David Hardin. “We appreciate the support of U.S. Sugar to help bring together families in our community.”

“While COVID-19 has prevented us from doing many things, it has not stopped our children’s’ desire to safely trick or treat this Halloween,” said Hendry County Sheriff Steve Whidden. 

At all community event locations, children and families are encouraged to follow all Centers for Disease Control guidelines. These include maintaining a 6-foot distance from others and the use of face masks. When possible, U.S. Sugar and its partners will be distributing candy to vehicles as they drive through event locations.
