Support Safety Street on Oct. 27 with candy donations

Help support Safety Street, Detroit Mercy’s annual trick-or-treat event, by donating candy and sweets to ensure a fun, safe and successful time for our community.

All candy donations should be delivered to the Student Union’s Lower Level, Monday through Friday, Oct. 9-20. Donations will be accepted by Student Life until Oct. 20 at 5 p.m.

The largest donation from college and campus departments will be awarded a Safety Street T-shirt from Student Life for each participant and a pizza party. Student organizations will also be donating candy for the event and the Student Government Association (SGA) will be awarding money toward any program for the 2023-24 school year. The winning student organization must meet the following criteria:

  • Donate at least 15 pounds of candy by Oct. 20
  • Participate in the facade building decorations party on Thursday, Oct. 26
  • Stay for the entirety of Safety Street, Friday, Oct. 27, 4:30-6 p.m.
  • Clean up their respective facade and area from the Safety Street event.

Safety Street, now in its 34th year, will feature a return to a full in-person event, held Friday, Oct. 27 from 4:30-6 p.m. in the Fountain Area outside of the Student Union on the McNichols Campus.
