If you pass out Halloween treats, consider these numbers:
$16.5 billion The amount Americans spent on candy in 2004, which amounts to 24 pounds or $60 of candy per person.
$48 per person The amount Americans planned to spend on candy, decorations and costumes for Halloween 2005.
$3.50 The amount on average that ELCA members gave per person to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal (800-638-3522; or give online) in 2005.
