Got Leftover Halloween Candy? Mrs. Maine’s Collecting It To Send To Soldiers

So you didn't have nearly as many Trick-Or-Treaters as you thought you might, and you bought WAY too much Halloween candy. It's too much to eat, and you don't want to hide it away. What's the best thing to do with all that leftover candy?

While the kid in me wants to eat it all, the grownup in me knows that will just lead to stomach aches and handfuls of Tums.

Mrs. Maine, Jennifer Goddard, announced on her Facebook Page, USOA Mrs. Maine, that she's partnered with an organization that will ship your extra sweet stuff to soldiers!

"We're excited to announce that we're a drop site for Soldiers' Angels Treats for Troops! 🇺🇸 Send your extra candy to our troops and make their day a little sweeter.

We're collecting until Friday, November 22nd. Drop off your candy before then, and we'll be happy to get it shipped out. Our first box is almost full already! "

According to their Facebook Page, Soldier's Angels is an organization whose mission is "to provide aid, comfort, and resources to the Military, Veterans, and their families."

Goddard says you can drop the candy off in person at her Brewer business, Thriving Proof, at 141 North Main St. Suite 205.

And with Veteran's Day happening this coming Monday, November 11th, it's a pretty fitting way to do something kind, like share some sweets from home.

Here are other great ideas, from listeners, on what to do with that leftover Halloween Candy!
