Halloween Candy Donation 2013

We are excited to announce our affiliation with Operation Gratitude this Halloween season! We will be collecting your unwanted Halloween candy from November 4th to November 7th, from 8am 5pm. All ages are welcome.

Our friends at Operation Gratitude will collect your donations and ship 100,000 care packages filled with candy, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed overseas. Last year we collected candy from around 300 children and received 752 lbs of candy!

Come in and donate your candy! As a thank you for your generosity, we will have toys, toothbrushes and coupons from participating sponsors in the Riviera Village for you to choose from. If you would like to be a sponsor and donate coupons or goodies, please contact Nikol at 310-378-9241 or nikol@dochopkins.com. Every person that makes a candy donation will be entered to win a Sonicare Toothbrush.
