CLARK COUNTY — Here’s a sweet initiative: Camp Fire children are selling this month boxes of candy to Vancouver residents to send to U.S. troops serving abroad.

Camp Fire children are selling the candy through Feb. 14. Sales booths are set up at most Fred Meyer locations in Vancouver.

Camp Fire children will take purchased and then donated boxes of candy to Serendipity’s, 4700 St. Johns Road, where they will on Feb. 26 count and sort the haul into boxes from 10 a.m. to noon. Last year, Camp Fire shipped 2,200 boxes of candy to service members. Camp Fire works with Give 2 the Troops, which coordinates the delivery of the candy.
