Donate Halloween Candy to Troops Overseas

Local businesses will act as drop off zones for leftover candy to be donated to troops overseas.

The snowstorm that stole - snowtober – canceled or postponed Halloween in many communities through New England Monday, including Foxborough.

Community leaders made the decision to cancel or postpone due to safety hazards including downed wires, debris and no lighting.

Businesses are now coming together to put leftover Halloween candy to good use, or better yet, "good eats."
