Nobody needs more that 2 lbs of candy in their home, let alone 100 snicker bars. Why not make your dentist happy and donate your candy to the troops abroad or to those in need? Here's more information:
*Operation Gratitude sends care packages to our troops overseas, and your gummy bears and mini Snickers are more than welcome, especially when your kids include a nice letter of support too. You just pay to ship to California, but an extra $11 donation covers overseas postage. But keep in mind the non-melty stuff is best, or if you send chocolate, you might want to put it in a Zip-Loc first.
*Any Soldier will also let you donate candy, and you can even specify which armed service branch, if you have a preference. But that's too hard for us - we like them all.
*Another option is Operation Shoebox.*Ronald McDonald House Charities accepts candy donation for kids. http://rmhc.org/ Here's our local chapter-- www.rmh-cnj.org/
*Food pantries, pediatric wards and nursing homes are happy to be able to give out a treat along with the meals. Here's a link to the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties:
