The 2024 goal? 150,000 pounds.\n\n\n\n\"The annual Soldiers' Angels Treats for Troops program is not just about candy,” Soldiers' Angels President and CEO Amy Palmer told We Are The Mighty. “It's about bringing the joy of home to our deployed service members wherever they are during the Halloween season.”\n\n\n\n“The morale boost our 'Angel' volunteers supply every October is always met with gratitude and cheer from our service members and veterans,” Palmer said. “We aim to make 2024 the best and brightest year of Treats for Troops yet.\"\n\n\n\nTreats for Troops serves as an opportunity for gyms, schools, churches, and social groups to work together with a common goal: bring candy – and smiles – to those who are serving. \n\n\n\nWays to support Treats For Troops\n\n\n\nThere are two ways to support the Treats for Troops campaign this year:\n\n\n\nCollection Sites: Register as a collection site to gather excess Halloween candy. Collection can begin anytime – but must end after Halloween – and you can choose specific VA facilities, Guard/reserve units, or deployed service members to support from a list of registered locations. Collection hosts will cover the expenses of transporting or shipping the candy to their chosen Soldiers’ Angels recipient. \n\n\n\nMake a Donation: Each package costs around $25 to ship, so making a financial donation brings Soldiers’ Angels one step closer to making a service member’s day. \n\n\n\nPlease note that Soldiers' Angels is solely interested in excess Halloween candy, so collection periods must end after Halloween. To become an official collection site for Treats for Troops, visit SoldiersAngels.org/TreatsForTroops."},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/","name":"Soldiers’ Angels ‘Treats For Troops’ Halloween candy collection has begun","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/candy-8-1024x768-1.jpeg?quality=85","datePublished":"2024-10-09T14:59:21-07:00","dateModified":"2024-10-09T14:59:21-07:00","description":"Registration is now open for businesses, clubs, and organizations to serve as collection sites for the annual Halloween candy collection campaign.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/#primaryimage","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/candy-8-1024x768-1.jpeg?quality=85","contentUrl":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/candy-8-1024x768-1.jpeg?quality=85","width":1024,"height":768},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-milspouse/soldiers-angels-treats-for-troops-halloween-candy-collection/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/category/mighty-milspouse/","description":"","name":"Mighty MilSpouse"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/category/kids-and-family/","description":"","name":"Kids & Family"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Soldiers’ Angels ‘Treats For Troops’ Halloween candy collection has begun"}],"numberOfItems":3,"itemListOrder":"Ascending","@context":"https://schema.org"},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#website","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/","name":"We Are The Mighty","description":"Military Entertainment for America by Veterans","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#organization"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#organization","name":"We Are The Mighty","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#/schema/logo/image/","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/logo-700-100.png?quality=85","contentUrl":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/logo-700-100.png?quality=85","width":700,"height":100,"caption":"We Are The Mighty"},"image":{"@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/#/schema/logo/image/"},"publishingPrinciples":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/we-are-the-mighty-homepage/watm-editorial-guidelines/"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com#/schema/person/7d8ad01d1cf4f7832e2626acf2141b34","name":"Kait Hanson","description":"Kait Hanson is a Hawaii-based writer and photographer.

registration is now open for businesses, clubs and organizations to serve as collection sites.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">By becoming a registered collection site, organizations can engage their communities in a fun and festive way, accepting excess Halloween candy and giving back to those who serve.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Since the campaign’s launch in 2016, the organization has sent 594,970 pounds of Halloween candy around the globe. The 2024 goal? 150,000 pounds.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">“The annual Soldiers’ Angels Treats for Troops program is not just about candy,” Soldiers’ Angels President and CEO Amy Palmer told We Are The Mighty. “It’s about bringing the joy of home to our deployed service members wherever they are during the Halloween season.”</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">“The morale boost our ‘Angel’ volunteers supply every October is always met with gratitude and cheer from our service members and veterans,” Palmer said. “We aim to make 2024 the best and brightest year of Treats for Troops yet.”</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Treats for Troops serves as an opportunity for gyms, schools, churches, and social groups to work together with a common goal: bring candy – and smiles – to those who are serving. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ways-to-support-treats-for-troops">Ways to support Treats For Troops</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">There are two ways to support the Treats for Troops campaign this year:</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip"><strong>Collection Sites: </strong>Register as a collection site to gather excess Halloween candy. Collection can begin anytime – but must end after Halloween – and you can choose specific VA facilities, Guard/reserve units, or deployed service members to support from a list of registered locations. Collection hosts will cover the expenses of transporting or shipping the candy to their chosen Soldiers’ Angels recipient. </p> <p class="article-paragraph skip"><strong>Make a Donation:</strong> Each package costs around $25 to ship, so making a financial donation brings Soldiers’ Angels one step closer to making a service member’s day. </p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Please note that Soldiers’ Angels is solely interested in excess Halloween candy, so collection periods must end after Halloween.
