What To Do With Extra Halloween Candy | Community Spirit

Each day I will write about something that a person can do to help others. I want to show that we can help others without having a lot of money or time. I feel strongly that we all have something that we can offer. The things that I write about will usually not take up much time or require large donations. I love the daily Ways to Save. This can be a Ways to Give.

I don’t know about you, but my kids always get too much candy at Halloween (or they did when they were younger), so instead of leaving it lay around the house for months on end why not make a military hero smile.  On the page you will also find other ideas if you want to mail out a care package as well.
