Halloween is a time for creativity, community, and celebration. At AmeriServe International, we make sure the season is filled with inclusive activities that bring joy while keeping safety and accessibility at the center. Whether it’s dressing up, enjoying a party, or heading out into the community, our programs in Council Bluffs, Clarinda, and Shenandoah help clients make the most of this festive season.

Celebrating Together at AmeriServe

In-house celebrations are one of the highlights of the fall season. Clients enjoy costume parties, themed crafts, pumpkin decorating, and games that bring everyone together. These activities are designed to be accessible, allowing each person to participate at their comfort level while sharing in the fun.

One of our favorite traditions is annual office trick-or-treating, where clients, team members, and their families all come together. It’s a special event that creates laughter, connection, and community while giving everyone a chance to celebrate in a safe and welcoming space.

Community Fun with Safety in Mind

For many clients, the best part of Halloween is being out in the community. Whether attending local events, visiting pumpkin patches, or joining in safe trick-or-treating opportunities, AmeriServe makes sure each outing is well-supported. Staff help ensure costumes are comfortable, routes are accessible, and activities are chosen with safety in mind—so the focus stays on fun and connection.

Tips for Inclusive Halloween Fun

Halloween can feel overwhelming at times, but with a little planning, it becomes an enjoyable experience for everyone. Here are a few strategies families and caregivers can use:

• Choose costumes that are easy to wear and fit comfortably.

• Look for sensory-friendly alternatives if masks or makeup cause discomfort.

• Select community events that offer accessibility and a welcoming environment.

• Keep celebrations flexible—sometimes small gatherings or one-on-one activities are the most meaningful.

Beyond Halloween: Fall Festivities at AmeriServe

While Halloween is the star of October, AmeriServe clients also enjoy other seasonal traditions. Apple orchard trips, cozy movie nights, football watch parties, and fall crafts help make autumn memorable in every program. These experiences not only bring joy, but also encourage community integration, social engagement, and independence.

AmeriServe’s Commitment

Holidays are about more than decorations or costumes—they’re about creating memories, building relationships, and fostering inclusion. At AmeriServe, we’re proud to make celebrations like Halloween safe, accessible, and meaningful for every client we serve.
