Donate your Halloween candy 🎃 Operation Gratitude sends care packages to U.S. troops stationed overseas and first responders stateside. It collects hundreds of thousands of pounds of candy annually. The organization's mission is simple: to put a smile on soldiers' faces. If you'd like to volunteer, please pre-register by Halloween. Or, if you would like to simply help share treats with troops, Operation Gratitude accepts monetary donations to help cover its shipping costs: $15 ships one candy care package overseas; $90 sends a jumbo package
