Operation Gratitude is collecting unwanted Halloween candy and sweet treats to send to deployed troops and first responders. Last year, Operation Gratitude collected and distributed a record-setting 533,891 pounds of candy.
From now until November 8th, the Ambler YMCA will be a collection location, and other area locations that are set up to collect candy can be found here.
Operation Gratitude is constantly shipping, collecting and donating care packages for deployed U.S. troops, veterans, new recruits, wounded heroes, first responders & military children. There are many ways to contribute throughout the year, and their blog contains all of the information you need to get involved.
