Patch has put together some things you need to know for Thursday. 

Today is Halloween. The township of Cedar Grove provides safety tips for trick-or-treating.

Bella Gente in Verona will give away free ice cream to kids who stop in wearing their costumes.

Are you out of work and looking for a job? Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a local support group that assists people in the community who are actively looking for work. Stop by the Cedar Grove Public Library on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. to get to know the group and hear about the fabulous success stories the Cedar Grove chapter has helped to realize.
