Halloween Candy Drive 2026, Nov 1–15, US and Canada
Your leftover candy is someone else's Halloween.
Drop off wrapped candy that won't melt at our collection point or your local food bank, so it reaches kids who have none.
Halloween Candy Drive 2026
Drop-offs open Nov 1–15 across the US and Canada.
The tracker starts counting on day one of the drive.
Three ways to help
Give candy
Wrapped candy with a long shelf life that won't melt: caramels, candy corn, jelly candies and gum. Please don't send food, chips or drinks. Even packaged candy only lasts 6 to 9 months, so donate soon after Halloween.
Host a collection point
Schools, dentists, tutoring centres, offices and shops make great drop-off points. Sign up and we'll get in touch to set up a box and a poster, and arrange pickup.
Sign up to hostVolunteer
Help collect, sort and pack candy, put up posters, or spread the word at your school. Our volunteers are mostly students.
Where to drop off candy
Bring it to our collection point below, or to your local community food bank. Food banks set their own rules, so please call ahead to check they take candy.

We don't have a US collection point yet, so your local food bank is the best place for your candy. Want to host one? Offer a drop-off spot.
- Kumon Centre of Etobicoke 666 Burnhamthorpe Rd, Etobicoke, ON M9C 2Z4 During centre hours. Please call ahead.
