Donate to Operation Gratitude (prepares care packages to send to U.S. Military); read HERE also; Operation Shoebox and Operation Starts and Stripes and Operation Troop Treats!
Check in at your Dentist’s office, many participate in a Candy Buyback Program
Check to see if your child’s school is collecting for an organization, such as Operation Gratitude
Make a visit to your local food pantry to drop off unopened candy
