Send Your Halloween Candy to Troops

A Halloween candy buy-back program lets you trade in your Halloween candy at a local dentist office, who will help send it to troops for the holidays.

Do you have Halloween candy left to spare? Before you or your child reach for another Snickers, consider spreading some holiday cheer and sending that candy to someone who doesn’t have it so readily available.

The Halloween Candy Buy-Back program enables people to drop off their candy at a local dentist office in exchange for money or perhaps coupons or dental goodie bags—it’s at the dentist’s discretion.

Dentists then send that candy to Operation Gratitude, which provides care packages for the military.
