Spreading awareness is important, and over the past decade, more people have been trying to do so on Halloween with different colored pumpkin buckets.

DETROIT - If you want to help make this Halloween safe and fun for those with food allergies there's something you can do. The Teal Pumpkin Project is aimed at raising awareness about food allergies and encouraging homeowners to provide non-food treats to trick-or-treaters. If you're offering nonfood treats at your home this Halloween you can place a teal pumpkin on your doorstep to let children with allergies know that you have options for them. The nonprofit also has a 2019 Teal Pumpkin Project map. The report below is from Local 4 News on Oct. 27, 2016:Copyright 2019 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.
