See the shared post below for all the details. Thank you, Pleasant View Waste Removal & Porta Potties!!!!

🎃 TRUCK OR TREAT 2026 — GIVING BACK IN TWO WAYS 🚛👻🚒🚑🚓

Every year, our Truck or Treat event is about bringing the community together, having some fun, showing off some awesome trucks and equipment, and — most importantly — helping people in our community who need it.

As always, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food items for WHEAT Community Connections, our local food pantry. We’re incredibly proud of how our community has stepped up year after year to help keep local families fed.

❤️ This year, we’re adding another cause that is especially close to our hearts.

We’ll also be collecting cash donations for Onsite Academy, a nonprofit organization that provides mental health and trauma support, including specialized programs for first responders dealing with PTSD and the lasting effects of the job.

This cause is particularly meaningful to the Pleasant View family. Our owner is a firefighter himself and has spent more than two decades in the fire service. We know firsthand that the job doesn’t always end when the shift does, and we’ve seen just how important it is for first responders to have somewhere to turn when the weight of the job becomes too much to carry alone.

Our firefighters, police officers, EMTs, dispatchers, veterans, and other first responders spend their careers showing up for people on some of the worst days of their lives. Sometimes, the things they see and experience follow them home.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Getting the right help can save a career, a family — and sometimes a life.

Organizations like Onsite Academy provide a place where first responders can get the support, tools, and treatment they need. As a nonprofit organization, donations help make that work possible.

So this year, when you come out to Truck or Treat, we’re asking our community to help us fill more than just the food pantry shelves.

🥫 Bring a non-perishable food item for our local food pantry.

❤️ Consider making a cash donation to Onsite Academy to support first-responder mental health, trauma recovery, and PTSD treatment.

No donation is too small. Give what you can.

Come see the trucks. Bring the kids. Grab some candy. Have some fun. And while we’re all together, help us take care of the people in our community — including the ones who spend their lives taking care of everyone else.
