My 4-year-old has been planning her Halloween costume for months. She’s on the fence about whether she wants to be a hyena (thank you, Lion King) or Tinker Bell (because of the dress, of course). And, of course, costumes and candy are a big part of the excitement of Halloween, especially when you’re in the single digits.

But I’m hoping that my daughter is old enough to share the hospitable Halloween spirit with our community. Giving back doesn’t have to be difficult. Set out a jar for donations at your Halloween to-do, or run in a 5K where the proceeds go to a local charity. Bonus: You’ll feel less guilty about all those candy corns you’re going to eat.
