I've never done it before & it looks like you really need to follow their instrutions to the T, but I'd rather send it to the troops than take it to work & have someone take all the Hershey bars because "my son LOVES these!! I'll take 'em for his lunch!"

Um...nope. I don't put candy in that bowl to fund YOUR kid's lunch. You had the kids, you can pay for their own damn candy.

At the very least don't say out loud that's what you're going to do with it.

So I'm gonna send the "good stuff" to the troops instead. They need it & will appreciate it more.

Scatterbrains, as much as you dislike the fact that dentists are writing off those vouchers as donations, anyone who saved their receipts for candy can technically write off a portion of the Halloween candy cost if they're donating the leftovers to Operation Gratitude.

EDIT: My bad. Nobody is writing anything off as a donation. Operation Gratitude apparently never bother to register for nonprofit status.
