Let's be honest - Halloween is all about the candy! If you're dreading the inevitable bags and piles of candy that follows a fun night of trick or treating fear not! We've got your back with 3 tips of how to repurpose that Halloween candy in fun and healthy ways: 1. Donate to a Local Organization: Many organizations, such as shelters, food banks, and military groups, accept candy donations. This is a great way to give back to the community and ensure the candy doesn't go to waste. 2. Create a Candy Bartering System: Set up a system where children can trade candy for privileges, such as extra screen time, a special outing, or a desired toy. This helps them learn about delayed gratification and decision-making. 3. Save Candy to decorate Gingerbread Houses in the Winter months

Looking for ways to give back to your community? Here are a few….

Today, Giving Tuesday, remember the child who saved stranded starfish by tossing them back into the ocean, one at a time. YOU can turn the tide against child abuse, saving one child at a time with a donation. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and youth-serving professionals are the first line of defense in preventing child abuse, and your gift, no matter the size, provides critical education. In fact, your donation can train an entire school for as little as $500. Today, YOU can protect children, families and communities.
