Sponsored in part by Rotary Club of West Sac, Washington Unified School District, Grocery Outlet and First Northern Bank, this event is FREE for the whole family! There will be live music, free food, carnival games, activities with community partners such as Yolo Arts and The Wonder Grove, trick-or-treating, an opportunity to help us sort socks, and more!

For questions about the event or sponsorship, please reach out to Kate@wsmercycoalition.org. We hope to see you there! More information and sock drop off locations here: https://www.mosaicwestsac.org/socktober25
