Donate Extra Halloween Candy to Troops Overseas

MARBLEHEAD, MA – If your Halloween haul is exceptional this year, consider donating some of it to a Marblehead organization that sends it overseas.

CAPTS, or Calling All Patriots Troop Support, will be accepting candy 24/7 starting on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at the Marblehead Police Station. According to a Marblehead Police Facebook post, the donation bins were overflowing with donated candy last year.

CAPTS' mission is, if they can't bring troops home, they'd like to bring some "home" to troops. The organization collects items off of wish lists to make up care packages for soldiers overseas.

The group is also collecting razors, toilet paper, chap stick, and other items for care packages, and is gearing up for Christmas gift stockings.
