Los Gatos Operation: Care and Comfort Candy Collection Under Way

Halloween candy collection drive continues until Saturday, Nov. 16 at Los Gatos Library and elementary schools in town.

Los Gatos High School sophomore Ali Fox is once again handling the Operation: Care and Comfort Halloween candy collection for the troops and she'd like all your uneaten Halloween candy.

Ali has placed candy collection boxes at the following locations:

  • Los Gatos Library, 100 Villa Ave.
  • Van Meter Elementary School, 16445 Los Gatos Blvd.
  • Daves Avenue Elementary School, 17770 Daves Ave., Monte Sereno
  • Lexington Elementary School, 19700 Old Santa Cruz Highway.

The drive began Nov. 1 and ends Saturday, Nov. 16.

Last year, Olivia and Lu Ann Flechsig helped Ali collect nearly three tons of candy from all over the country.

According to organizers, all of the candy, including chocolate, will be shipped to the troops during the holiday season and after.

Please, no "body parts" or "eyeball" candy.
