The Operation Gratitude Halloween Candy Give-Back Program has been connecting communities with Military and First Responder Heroes each fall since 2007. While Halloween may look a little different this year, Operation Gratitude and their volunteers are committed to continuing to give back in meaningful ways.
THE PROGRAM
Grateful Americans across the nation share a portion of their Halloween candy with Operation Gratitude, and donate it to Deployed Troops, Veterans, and First Responders with the goal of forging strong bonds between the civilian and service communities nationwide.
Even if you are not collecting candy this year you can still be a part of the 2020 Halloween Candy Give Back Program by making a financial donation to support shipping today! DONATE HERE!
