Donate Your Extra Halloween Candy

to Nov 8

Donate Your Extra Halloween Candy

This Halloween we want to help Brandon's Forever Home "ensure children in foster care are not the "forgotten ones."" Parents may wonder what to do with all of the Halloween candy their kids will bring home after trick-or-treating. Most parents help eat it, throw it in the trash, or take it with them to their place of employment. The students at Mountain Valley Family Martial Arts have a better idea for getting rid of your excess holiday candy: Donate it!

To do this, Sensei Nevin Baskin and his students are holding a Halloween Candy Donation Drive from October 28 to November 8 at their karate school, located in the Church Hill Mall in Hazleton. People can bring their leftover candy to the dojo and the candy will be taken to Brandon's Forever Home on Saturday, November 10th.

The Halloween candy donated by the community will go to Brandon's Forever Home (BFH) in Hazleton. BFH does so many wonderful things for our community and we believe in supporting them. For more information on Brandon's Forever Home, visit them at www.brandonsforeverhome.com.

Halloween Candy Donation Drive

With Halloween fast approaching, Mountain Valley Family Martial Arts plans to help the children in our community stay healthy while supporting families facing a serious medical crisis. To do this, Sensei Nevin Baskin is holding a Halloween Candy Donation Drive from October 30 to November 9 at the dojo, located in the Church Hill Mall in Hazleton. People can bring their leftover candy to the dojo and the candy will be taken to the Ronald McDonald House of Danville on the weekend of November 11-12.

The Halloween candy donated by the community will go to families who have a seriously injured or ill child, from birth through age 21, who is currently in treatment. The parents and siblings of these young patients, who are often far from their familial support systems, can stay at the Ronald McDonald House of Danville to remain close to their child in treatment.
