It's the morning after the biggest candy binge of the year ... Halloween! Anybody have a tummy ache? Anybody have more candy than one family can (or should) consume?

Tawny Campbell, founder of Project Rudolph, will be happy to relieve you of your unwanted candy. She doesn't have an overactive sweet tooth, just a tall order to fill: 7,000 Christmas goodie bags for deployed and injured service members to be delivered by Christmas.

Those in the Kaiserslautern Military Community in Germany can bring their extra Trick or Treat candy (or any candy) to the Ramstein Base Exchange today or on Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"The candy will be put to good use and you can save your kids a few cavities," Tawny said.

The candy, along with handwritten letters and Christmas ornaments, will go into the bags, which are distributed to injured warriors at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, deploying troops passing through the Ramstein PAX terminal, and to units downrange during Christmas.

"We prefer candy that does not have Halloween logos or designs on the packages," she said. "I have a five-year old little girl, and what I do is let her pull out all the candy that is more Halloween themed, then let her pull out fifteen other pieces. Everything else we donate to Project Rudolph."

Another way to help with this effort, for those in the KMC, is to join the bag-assembly days at the Rhine Ordinance Barracks Event Center on two upcoming Saturdays: Nov. 29th and Dec. 6th  Both days, volunteers are needed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until all bags are complete.
