DOW - This October, there’s an unlikely partnership between Got Faith? and R Acres of Terror. R Acres of Terror, a haunted attraction in Dow, prides itself on scaring people for Halloween fun. Got Faith? works throughout the year to help people in the Riverbend. The two organizations are teaming up to collect socks for unhoused community members and raise money for Got Faith?
