Today was Halloween and I met a couple of public service people.

I was leaving work and I saw them standing in a rather large group. There were firefighters, policemen, some army men, and some guys dressed up in Ghost Busters costumes.

I asked them what they're up to, and they said that they're taking around kids from IHS to do some trick-or-treating. IHS is the Institute of Human Services helps out homeless individuals and families in our community. It's really cool that members of the community were bringing out these kids who wouldn't be able to do it otherwise.

It's cool to see our public service people contributing to the community in that way. I don't know if it's common, but I definitely think things like that can help public perception of their law enforcement and government. Plus, who doesn't want to do good for their neighborhoods.
