Family teams up with San Diego Food Bank to help the hungry
October 24, 2009 (El Cajon) – For the past five years, the Knowlden family of El Cajon has thrilled friends and neighbors by converting their home into a haunted house. “We like to say, `We provide the candy, you provide the screams,’” an e-mail from the family informed East County Magazine. “We love to make people laugh, scream and just have a good time.”
This year, the Knowldens decided to help local families in need by teaming up with the San Diego Food Bank to collect food and raise awareness in the fight against hunger. Demand at area food banks has soared as a result of the economic recession. Admission to the haunted house is free, however guests are asked to bring non-perishable food items as donations.
The “Scream Team” haunted house will be open Friday, October 30th and Saturday, October 31st starting at sundown. Guests are advised to enter at their own risk, since the haunted house uses strobe lights, black lights, flood lights, sound and fog machines.
The haunted house is located at 1108 Peach Street in El Cajon, 92021.
