Already wondering about what you’ll do with all of the candy you acquire next week? We’ve got the answer. Bring it to the Brooksfield Candy Drive! November 2 – November 6 bring in any candy (the stuff you didn’t give out, the extras you’re children collected but won’t – or shouldn’t – eat) and hand it over at drop-off or pick-up. Mary, our Extended Day Director’s son, Peter, just returned from serving in Afghanistan. Although Peter is home, his unit is still overseas serving our country. The candy will be sent to Peter’s unit in a care package to show our love and support with the help of the Douglas J Green Memorial Foundation (DJGMF.org), an organization that provides comfort and support to service members and their families through sending thoughtful and useful care packages during deployments and planning exciting and memorable experiences for service members to look forward to once they return home. Last year, thanks to the support of the Brooksfield families, 50 boxes were sent to the troops!!
