Trick-or-treating at ECHO.
Community members can sponsor a child for this event
– On Oct. 31, the El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) is hosting a ‘Halloween Drive’ for children at the Paso Robles and Atascadero locations. This event will be made possible through community donations, which include sponsoring a child with their chosen costume and favorite candy to trick-or-treat.
“Your generous contributions will light up the faces of our little trick-or-treaters, ensuring a Halloween that will forever be etched in their hearts,” said Austin Solheim with ECHO.
