Candidate’s Family Q: Sending Food?

Question from family members looking to support their candidate:

Should we send food to our candidate? Obviously they could use extra calories and will miss home cooking.

Answer:

No.

They will probably either be forced to throw away the food right away, or put it in a closet until they are released to eat it. The official OCS website says the following: DON’T send items to your candidate unless asked for. (We don’t recommend sending perishable items.) It is parental nature to want to send something. RESIST!

So that’s your answer: Resist!
