Where to get Candy Boxes?

I am interested in ordering some of the Christmas boxes to use with our Homeless Ministry. We give gifts, and oranges and candy at Christmas and I would love to get some of the small boxes like we used to get. Do you know where I can order these? I would appreciate any information you could give me. Thank you and God Bless!!

I'm sorry that this answer isn't very specific. I don't know a good place to get them, but I can share an experience.

Years ago I was in a church that ordered these boxes. I don't know where we got them. But I know that one year we ordered the boxes empty and flat and got candy somewhere else, then spent all day loading them up, during one of the busiest weeks of the year. The next year, Shelia realized that the cost of the boxes assembled WITH candy was only a few dollars more altogether than the total cost of buying the candy and boxes separately.

So, yes, as late as the early 1990s, they were still available SOMEWHERE. Wish I could be more specific.

God bless,
