Sweet Treats for a Worthy Cause: Alabaster’s Halloween Candy Give-back Program
In Alabaster, a spook-tacular opportunity is brewing just in time for Halloween! As the candy bags fill and the costumes are chosen, there’s something delightful you can do with all those extra sugary snacks. A local dentist is hosting a Halloween Candy Give-back Program, and it’s all for a fantastic cause!
Share the Joy of Giving This Halloween
As you celebrate the spooky season, think about how your Halloween haul can bring smiles to other families. This program invites kids and their families to donate their unopened candy, and here’s the best part: the collected candy will be given to the families at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama right in Birmingham. It’s a wonderful chance to help families who could use a little extra cheer during difficult times.
Starting on November 4 and running through November 7, you can drop off your sweet donations at 122 7th Avenue NE in Alabaster. The timing works out nicely, so after all the trick-or-treating, you can swing by and share the joy!
Drop-off Details—Mark Your Calendars!
Here’s when you can make your sweet delivery:
- November 4: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- November 5: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- November 6: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- November 7: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
It’s a simple process! Just gather all that extra candy—yes, even chocolate—which you won’t eat or can’t fit into your own candy stash this year. Last-minute sweets from those trick-or-treaters are also welcome! Remember, every little bit counts!
It’s Not Just Candy—Spread Love with Notes!
The caring dentist has also opened the door for a bit of creativity. If you or your little ones feel inspired, why not include some encouraging notes or cards with the candy? The families staying at the Ronald McDonald House will appreciate these little heartfelt messages as they find comfort in the community during tough times. It’s a unique way to share kindness while you’re at it!
Why This Program Matters
The Ronald McDonald House provides families with the warmth of home, offering them a place to stay while their children receive medical care. By participating in this candy give-back, you’re not only clearing out some space in your candy stash but also supporting families who are navigating challenging health situations.
So, gather the kids, have fun collecting any leftover goodies, and make it a family outing to drop off your donations. It’s a sweet way to teach the younger generation about giving back, and who knows? It might inspire them to keep spreading kindness well after Halloween has passed.
Join the Fun and Make a Difference!
Make this Halloween not just about receiving candy but about spreading joy and generosity! Your contributions will brighten the days of families who could truly use it. Change a trick-or-treat into a treat-for-a-cause this season!
Let’s put some smiles on faces! Gather your candy, grab those encouraging notes, and get ready to make a difference in Alabaster one piece of candy at a time!
