Drug-Free Tennessee Hosts Annual Reverse Trick-or-Treating for Halloween

Nashville, TN, 18th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, This Halloween, Drug-Free Tennessee will once again bring a unique twist to the traditional holiday fun with its annual Reverse Trick-or-Treating event, an engaging tradition that combines costumes, candy, and community education.

Instead of simply going door-to-door collecting candy, participating children will also give back-handing out The Truth About Drugs booklets to neighbors while receiving sweet treats. This creative exchange not only spreads Halloween cheer but also delivers valuable, life-saving information about the dangers of drug abuse.

"Kids love Halloween, and they love candy," said Julie Brinker, lifelong Drug-Free Ambassador, "This tradition gives them a chance to have fun while also making a difference-helping their friends, family, and neighbors learn the truth about drugs."

The Truth About Drugs program, developed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, provides clear, factual information about the most commonly abused substances. By putting this information into the hands of the community, Drug-Free Tennessee hopes to empower young people and adults alike to make informed, healthy choices.

Participation is open to all children and families who want to join in the tradition. Drug-Free Tennessee will provide the booklets free of charge to anyone who wishes to hand them out while trick-or-treating.
