“Cash For Candy” Program Pays You For Leftover Candy And Sends It Troops
If you’ve got a ton of leftover Halloween candy, here’s a way to get rid of it and support the brave men and women who have served or are serving our country! A program called Cash for Candy will pay $10 a pound for it, and send it to military personnel and their families.
You fill out a donation form and send it with your candy to Friends of the Troops, a nonprofit supporting military personnel. HealthyWage will pay $10 per pound of candy sent, with a maximum of 10 pounds ($100) per person. The candy will then be sent to service members, veterans, and families both domestic and abroad. You should get paid via PayPal or check within 4 to 6 weeks.
Check out the site HealthyWage.com/Cash4Candy. Or Feeding America encourages you to donate to a local food pantry!
Wishing all who celebrate a happy, safe and fun #Halloween! 👻
Remember, if you find yourself with a 🎃spooky🎃 amount of leftover candy, you can donate it at many local food pantries, organizations that will send candy to active-military and more! pic.twitter.com/EgQswDZ1jL
