'Trunk-or-Treat' event held in Hayward for children with special needs

HAYWARD, Calif. (KGO) -- A special Halloween event took place yesterday in Hayward for children with special needs.

It's called "Trunk-or-Treat."

Local firefighters, police, business owners, parents and community volunteers decorated the backs of vehicles parked at the Hayward Unified School District Parent Resource Center.

That's where they handed out candy.

Organizers say the event helps kids who may otherwise find it challenging to participate in traditional Halloween activities.
