Mixed in with traditional trick or treat youngsters on Sunday evening will be the Albany Jr./Sr. High Student Council members seeking donations to the Albany Chest with their annual Trick-or-Treat For Change Project.

The council will be divided into groups and canvass the town dressed in their Halloween best hoping for donations to assist the Albany Chest raise its goal of $46,000 this year.

In the past, the council has typically has raise from $800 to $1,000 with the event.

The event was cancelled last year due to the COVID pandemic.

StuCo sponsor Michaela Bradford said that the teams will meet at the high school and then spread out around town starting at 5:30 p.m.

Members will gladly accept spare change, bills, and even checks. However, all checks should be made out directly to the Albany Chest and NOT the school.

“The goal again this year is $1,000,” Bradford said. “The kids enjoy dressing up while doing something really important for the community.”
