Donations are due today for the Crest Candy Collection Project that helps to offset the financial pressure on people who live on F Street F. Residents receive upwards of 1,400 trick-or-treaters per home on Halloween.
The project is a decade-long service project of the The Crest Academy 8th graders. They collect candy from our community which is then distributed to the houses. The 8th graders lead the project and calculate data on how much candy is collected.
You may drop off your donation at any of these donation partner sites:
● The Crest Academy, 627 Oak Street
● Salida Early Childhood Center, 516 Teller Street
● The Salida Montessori Charter School, 1040 I Street
● Salida Middle School, 520 Milford Street

● Longfellow Elementary School, 425 W 7th Street
● Touber Building in City Hall, 448 East 1st Street
● High Country Bank, 7360 W US Highway 50 and 130 W Second St. If High Country Bank collects 500 pounds of candy, they will donate $500 to the project.
