"We will be giving the unopened bags to Medfield Youth Outreach. They will use this candy for their different programs," said Laurie Nealon who, along with Kathleen Cahill, coordinates the program.   

"We will be giving the rest to the United Church of Christ for making cheer boxes for soldiers and also Operation American Soldier. Both of these organizations will be sending the candy to our troops overseas," she said.

Unwanted candy can be dropped off on Thursday, Nov. 1 or Friday, Nov. 2 at Laurie Nealon's house (7 Copperwood) or Kathleen Cahill's house (7 Penobscot).
