This Halloween season was filled with creativity, laughter, and community spirit across Community Health Alliance — from parking lot trick-or-treating to office-wide costume fun!

👻 Trunk or Treat at First United Methodist Church

On October 30th, CHA joined families and community partners for a Trunk or Treat at the First United Methodist Church parking lot in Hamilton. The event ran from 6–8 p.m. and drew an amazing crowd of about 150 people!

Agencies and partners that joined the fun included New Horizons Recovery Centers, Hopeline, CareSource, Lumiere, and Full Circle, with incredible support from SLIM and First United Methodist Church for providing delicious food and helping hands.

“It was wonderful to see everyone come together — families, agencies, and our partners — for such a positive and festive night,” said Rachel DeWitt, CDCA, Community Engagement Coordinator. “We’re already excited to continue this tradition next year!”

Also joining the festivities was Elise Powers, LCDCII, SWA, Manager of Admissions and Outreach, helping connect with community members and celebrate the season.

🧙‍♀️ Halloween Costume Contest Across Community Health Alliance

The Halloween celebrations continued the next day as the team members across the organization showed off their creativity in this year’s Halloween Costume Contest!

The imagination, detail, and sheer effort behind the costumes were nothing short of amazing. From spooky to silly to perfectly themed, the “CHA-spirit” was on full display across every location — along with potlucks, decorations, and plenty of laughter.
