Halloween has ended, and now your home is filled with candy, what can you do with all of it? Well, here are a few ways you can use that candy for a good cause and not have to eat it all yourself!
Cash for Candy is a new challenge hosted by HealthyWage in order to get some sweet treats sent to U.S. troops overseas. For every pound of candy, HealthyWage will send you $10.
The organization is partnering with Operation Shoebox to send candy and care packages to those men and women in uniform and plan to do so just in time for the holidays. The deadline to send in your candy is November 22.
The organization asks that you do not include any candy that has been opened (unwrapped), is expired, or otherwise non-edible.
Ship your candy to:
Operation Shoebox, 8360 East Hwy 25, Belleview, FL 34420

Another option is to send candy with Treats for Troops, where local businesses team up to collect candy or candy can be mailed directly in.
You can see a map of the drop-off locations here, but as locations are limited for East Texas, you can mail your candy to their headquarters at:
Soldiers’ Angels Treats for Troops, 2895 NE Loop 410, Suite 107, San Antonio, Texas, 78218
