Since Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, I was expecting a lot of kids to be out trick or treating.  I’m sure the rainy weather played a part but hardly anyone came ringing our bell.  And we were pretty much the only ones out with our kids (last year our neighborhood was mobbed!)

If you’re like us then you probably have a whole bunch of candy leftover.  You could throw it all in a bowl and take it to work but everyone does that and there’s just way too much.  

And let’s fact it…its not the healthiest thing to keep at your desk for snacks.

So why not donate your leftover candy to people who could really use it.  There are various organizations that will accept candy as donations. 

Perhaps there’s a soup kitchen nearby that will accept it…but be sure to call first to make sure they will take candy donations. 

Another option is Operation Shoebox, which will take the candy and distribute it to our troops overseas. 

You’ll be helping to support the brave men and women who are serving in our military.  They’ll either enjoy the sweets themselves or share it with local children to help build relationships and improve communication.
