Have too much of Halloween candy on your hands? Afraid of eating it all yourself (me!)? In preparation for Veteran's day, consider donating it one of these charities.
Operation Gratitude
The Halloween Candy Give Back Program has been connecting communities with their Military, Veteran, and First Responder Heroes each fall since 2007. Volunteers from all 50 states and Washington D.C. share a portion of their excess Halloween candy with Operation Gratitude. We then assist in distributing the candy to deployed troops, local military units, veterans, and first responders, providing a sweet opportunity for grateful Americans to thank those who serve our nation.
Halloween Candy Buy Back
The Halloween Candy Buy Back organization also supports veterans but it does so by partnering with dentists’ offices and other businesses that will “buy back” your candy – usually by offering a trade involving cash, toothbrushes, sugar-free candy or other items.
