Treats for Troops Collection Site Information

Registration to become a candy collection site for 2024 is not yet open!

Please check back on October 1!

Before you register to become a Soldiers’ Angels Treats for Troops collection site, we have some important information for you to review.

You are responsible for the cost of transporting or shipping to get the candy to your designated Soldiers’ Angels candy recipient.

  • You must ship your candy or coordinate with the recipient to deliver to the address you choose from the Soldiers’ Angels database. Please ensure that your box is marked “Soldiers’ Angels Treats for Troops” to ensure the recipient knows where the candy is coming from.
  • If you begin to collect more candy than you can afford to ship, it is your responsibility to stop your collection early. You must let us know if you stop your collection early so that we can adjust your end date and remove your location from the live location map.  While we do allow delivery, we cannot guarantee there will be a location near you to deliver to or they can accept delivery so please do not sign up unless you are prepared to ship your candy and cover the shipping costs.

You are responsible for providing your own buyback prizes. 

  • Common buyback prizes include toothbrushes and toothpaste, healthy snacks, coloring books and crayons, stickers, or cash. You are welcome to get creative and come up with other great prizes for the participating children.
  • Buyback prizes are not mandatory for collection sites— but it is a fun way to encourage kiddos in your community to participate.

Please Note: Candy collected in the name of Soldiers’ Angels must be donated to Soldiers’ Angels, not to any other group or organization.

Sharing the sweet joy of candy is as easy as 1-2-3!

Follow these steps below to get started!

Treats for Troops opportunities will be available beginning on October 1, 2024.

Step 2:

Beginning October 1, 2024, volunteer opportunities will be available for Treats for Troops on your Angel volunteer Dashboard.

Step 3:

After completing your collection and shipping the candy to the recipient chosen in your Angel dashboard, please report your support with the actual weight of the candy sent, the value of the candy ($8/pound) plus shipping/transport costs, and any tracking information you have.
