Trick or Treating at Charles and Other Halloween Resources 

For those who would like to hand out candy to trick or treaters, we ask that you tie a ribbon to your door handle to indicate this. Ribbons are available for pick up at the booth located in the lobby of 35 Charles. On Halloween, please secure pets before answering the door. Any edible treats you hand out must be commercially wrapped. Homemade treats are not permitted. Avoid allergens and choking hazards, including nuts, hard candy, and chewing gum. Additionally, consider giving treats other than candy, like stickers or erasers. Those who wish to go trick or treating are asked to only go to apartments that have ribbons tied on their door handles as not everyone celebrates Halloween for religious, cultural, or other reasons.  

We have also put together several resources and safety tips for Halloween. You can read this information on our website or on the posters that are posted throughout both buildings.
