Join MCC-Maple Woods for our 8th Annual Honk & Howl. This free, family-friendly trunk-or-treat event features candy, inflatables, face painting, games, and more! Hosted in partnership with our Veterinary Technology Program, Honk & Howl is pet-friendly and includes information about the program and pet adoptions. Food trucks (including coffee) and vendors will be on site with items for purchase.
Sponsorships are available in a wide range of options, and proceeds raised will support MCC-Maple Woods student activities, programs, and scholarships.
This event is appropriate for ALL ages.
Wolf Den Food Pantry food drive
In the spirit of giving, we're also hosting a food drive to support our campus food pantry.
We recommend bringing grab-and-go items – preferably those that do not require a can opener (ex: granola bars, microwavable meals, crackers, fruit cups, beef jerky, trail mix, ramen, etc.) or household products (ex: laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.).
