When you are ready to unload some of that sweet loot while also teaching how to give back by sharing … here are a few ideas for what to do with leftover candy:

Donate to Operation Gratitude (prepares care packages to send to U.S. Military); read HERE also;  Operation Shoebox and Operation Starts and Stripes and Operation Troop Treats!

Check in at your Dentist’s office, many participate in a Candy Buyback Program 

Check to see if your child’s school is collecting for an organization, such as Operation Gratitude 

Make a visit to your local food pantry to drop off unopened candy

And … here are a few GF (Allergen-friendly, Organic, Dairy-free, Kosher options) candy treats to check out!
