Teal Pumpkin Project Community Captain
Everything you need to bring the magic of Halloween in your community.
A Teal Pumpkin Community Captain brings the Teal Pumpkin Project to more homes, schools and communities—and it’s easy to get started. There’s no single way to participate: invite neighbors to join, share resources with schools or libraries, encourage local businesses to take part, bring the Teal Pumpkin Project to a community event or Halloween celebration, or simply spread the word on social media. Choose what works for you! The toolkit below has ready-to-use messages, printables, activity ideas and food allergy resources to help you get started.
