If the kids come home with too much Halloween candy or you just have WAY too much, you can donate it to support the troops! Donating Halloween candy means they’ll get treats in their military care packages for troops overseas, which is always a fun surprise! Last year, they collected over 30,000 lbs of candy to send to the troops!
