Getting Ready For Summer With The Donation Box for 5-17
Summer break is coming soon and many of the kids that get their meals from free or reduced school lunch programs will be at home. We decided to concentrate on some snack bars in the donation box for 5-17 since most kids like those. Our youngest son loves all these bars so we figure other kids might too. We did throw in some candy as well. I think I’ll follow this box with a box full of toothpaste in next weeks box! (hehe) Kidding aside, before we get bombarded with questions about why we would donate candy, I’ll say that yes, we do feel that it is appropriate. We give quite a bit of food and personal items, but we figure that the candy is a nice treat for any kid (or adult) in any family. It’s always up to the parent to moderate their childrens candy intake, no matter what their income is. So… when we get candy in our couponing trips, we like to share some of that in our donation box. We’d love to hear your opinion on donating candy to the foodbank now and then. What’s your take on it?
