We are committed to providing a healthy, inclusive approach to Trick-or-Treating.
Kids love candy. However, for many kids candy is simply not an option. Between childhood obesity, juvenile diabetes, food allergies, and other special needs, the population of children excluded from Halloween traditions grows each year.Help make Halloween fun for ALL kids!
It’s as easy as 1-2-3
- Add some non-food treats
- Print out a decal
- Share Halloween fun with ALL kids
We’re not suggesting you ditch candy all together, just please ADD some non-food treats to your Halloween offerings so kids who can’t eat candy have fun options too!
There are many non-candy treats available, and you may be surprised to learn that many of these treat-alternatives cost about the same as candy.

Download, and print out the large image. Or, if you are in the Austin, Texas area, you can stop by your local Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to pick up a copy – beginning October 11th while supplies last.
On Halloween display this image on your door, window, anywhere visible from the street/sidewalk. This will let Trick-or-Treaters know that non-perishable treats are available at your home. You may also register your address (we do not require any personal information) as a CLU home. Trick-or-Treaters can view the CLU Map to see participating homes nearby.
If you would like your child to participate, download the small image (the small image is formatted to work with Avery 5164 stickers and is also available at Austin area Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf). It will print 6 per page. Cut out, then pin the small image to your child’s costume. When participating homes see your child wearing the image they will know to provide a non-perishable treat as opposed to candy or other edible treats.
Maybe you would like to participate, but you don’t know how. No worries, below we provide some alternate treat ideas as well as locations where these treats are available.
