We’re all aware of the devastation the East Coast has
suffered due to Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy has destroyed thousands and thousands of homes from
fires and flooding and has left so many homeless. There are gas and food shortages and many
residents are still powerless with no clean water or food and no place to go.
As it occurred last week, this forced many areas of New
Jersey and New York to cancel Halloween.
Being that this is a candy blog and all of the previous posts were
leading up to Halloween, imagine if all of the sudden, your little ones were
not able to go trick or treating as they have been planning for the last two
months because the whole town is in shambles.
It would be very hard explaining this to the young ones and is not the enjoyable
event that it should be.
My sister wanted to bring some joy to the children who were
not able to trick or treat by setting up the Project Candy for Victims of Sandy
page on Facebook. This storm hit New Jersey and New York the
hardest. I’m a Jersey girl at heart and
my hometown at the Jersey Shore, along with many other towns were destroyed. Countless hours that were spent at the
boardwalk are now suddenly just a memory.
The soul of New Jersey has been
ripped out and will never be the same as it once was.
So now it’s your turn to bring some happiness to the victims
of the hurricane. We’re asking you to
join in on the fun, by packaging 5 pieces of candy in a plastic ziplock bag and
ship them over to the East Coast. Life’s
all about sharing and this is a great lesson for children as well. I know we all love candy, but it’s always
more fun to enjoy indulging with others and giving those who may not have any a
little taste. Other items are welcome
too, if you’re interested to find out more information, please go to Project Candy for Victims of Sandy.
