Halloween candy.
Every Halloween, many families end up with extra candy. Halloween candy could come from kids trick-or-treating and getting too much (on average each trick-or-treater consumes 3 cups of sugar!), or it could come from adults who overestimate the number of trick-or-treaters they will get and are left with candy they hope to not get tempted by in the weeks ahead.
Ridwell will pick any extra candy up so it can do good in the community. Instead of getting stale in your cupboard, leftover candy from your home will go to great local partners working on important missions.
