I'm thrilled that this year, a local dentist is collecting all the "extra" candy and sending it to Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit that sends care packages to Military personnel deployed in harm's way. The local dentist has also promised to donate $1 for every pound of candy turned in to our local education foundation.
Candy out of the house/donation to education foundation/care packages to soldiers. Looks like a win/win/win to me.
For more information visit the Operation Gratitude website here or their facebook page here.
Makes My Monday is hosted by Cheryl at Twinfatuation.

What a fabulous idea. I'm in, if I can find where my kids stashed their haul.
My kids ortho is part of this too - 1 hour till all candy is out of here!! Veggies for dinner ;-)
That is fantastic on so many levels!
That's nice. Our neighborhood is pretty sad with the trick or treating so my kids actually don't get to much. between them and me we manage to consume it all.
What a fabulous (and fat-reducing!) idea! Few could make me willing to sacrifice the candy cavalcade, but the troops? Okay!
Thank you for Making My Monday, Three Under!
Great idea!
I had SO MUCH left over candy this year...I wonder if I can still find a place to donate it to...
Yeah, I think your idea is good. I will try it. Thanks for share!
