Trick or Eat! Food bank drive by Teenagers and University students too old to regular Trick or Treat.
Now IMHO this is a good idea. I personally won't let my teenagers go out trick or treating because they are to old. But if they were to go Trick or Eating (collect food donations for food banks)I would gladly drive them around because groceries can get quite heavy.

"Frightening facts
Residents of St. John’s may notice some older trick or treaters this Halloween as students from Memorial University plan to participate in a national food drive. The annual Trick or Eat event is organized by the student-run charity Meal Exchange. The local chapter of Meal Exchange estimates there are more than 5,500 youth between the ages of 15 and 24 that go hungry here in the St. John’s area.
On Oct. 31, Memorial students will join post-secondary students from more than 45 campuses across Canada and go door-to-door in search of non-perishable food items for local food banks. In previous years, the average donation from a participating campus was approximately 2,295 kg of food.
