Where every affiliate dollar goes.
CandyForKids started about ten years ago, when Arjun and his dad began collecting leftover Halloween candy for kids who had none. When you buy through our links we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and we publish how it's used.
- Candy and treats for kids who go without
- Education and other support for kids in need
- Running the site and growing the drive
We'll publish the exact split after our first full year of guides.
