Once again, we will be collecting any unused Halloween candy, as well as microwave popcorn, hot chocolate mixes, and Starbucks gift cards, to send to our college kids during exams. In addition to items for the boxes, we also need your college kids’ updated mailing addresses, along with their exam schedule for this year, so that we can send them care packages right before their exams start.

We’ve just learned there is a minimum number of donuts FOTC needs to sell in order to qualify for this fundraising opportunity. They need to sell an additional 12 dozen over what has already been ordered to qualify. This Sunday is the deadline for orders.
