What is a BOO Bag?


BOO Bags are goodie bags filled with Halloween trinkets and candy that we deliver to 50 families in Sussex County. Those families are then tasked with BOOing 2-3 other families of their choosing thus kickstarting a "pay-it-forward" community project.

We offer aTeal Bag option for families with food allergies!


Below are the Rules and Regulations for the BOO Bags. 

Please read them carefully prior to the email so you save time when the email hits your inbox.


RULES/ELIGIBILITY



  • Deliveries will happen between October 9 - October 15, 2023
  • You must enter your ENTIRE address – ie: 1234 Simple Street, Pleasantville DE. We cannot deliver if we don’t have an address.
  • You MUST live within 15-20 mins from Dogfish HeadIf you are more than 20mins per google maps, you will need to pick up your bag. Bag arrangements will be organized by the publisher at a later date. You will receive an email. 
  • We cannot BOO apartment complexes where the front door is shared with other tenants. We need to be able to access your door from the street. This means us getting out of the car and being able to knock on your door which leads directly into your house. If you live in an apartment complex, you may still sign up but you will need to pick up your basket. Please reach out if you have additional questions. 
  • You Must have the intention to BOO 2-3 More Families – that’s the whole fun of this!
  • There will be 1 Bag per HouseNOT per child.
  • There are only 50 Spots available – we cannot take on additional entries no matter the circumstances. You may be added to a wait list but this does not guarantee a BOO Bag.
  • We will send an email the week of deliveries letting you know we are coming around BOO’ing. PLEASE INFORM ALL ADULTS IN THE HOUSE. 
  • Please be sure your house number is visible from the street. We don’t want to deliver to the wrong house but we are human and mistakes can happen.  
  • We try to BOO between 10:00AM - 7:00PM. We stop ringing/knocking on doors at 7PM but BOOing will continue. 
  • We DO NOT BOO in the rain. I don’t want to leave your bags outside in the rain because the contents inside may get destroyed. 
  • PLEASE BE PATIENT!! We have 50 houses to deliver. We give ourselves a full week (7 days) to deliver the bags. We have a map and organize our deliveries by area. So Please be patient with us šŸ˜„ Delivery of the baskets takes a lot of time, organizing and gas. We are not Santa Claus; we cannot boo 50 houses in one night. 
  • Macaroni KID Sussex, DE takes no responsibility for stolen bags or bags that may have been destroyed due to animals after delivery.
  • If you were going to pick up your bag and can no longer do so, LET ME KNOW ASAP. That way I can relinquish your bag to another family. You will NOT be penalized if you inform me. 
  • If you no-show picking up your bag, you will no longer be allowed to reserve a BOO Bag.
