Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program

Halloween_Candy.jpg

Have you heard about the Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program? Children can take Halloween Candy to participating dentist offices (current listed locations in Virginia Beach and Yorktown) at scheduled events. Dentists “buy” the candy in exchange for cash, coupons, toothbrushes, etc. and send it to Operation Gratitude or other military support groups.

Operation Gratitude collects the candy and sends it to military troops deployed in harms way. Operation Gratitude accepts candy from anyone, not just dentists. They are working with schools, businesses, gyms, religious and civic groups, and individuals who collect candy and then ship it to them.

This program can be a great way to give to others while reducing the candy in your house and make positive use of any leftover candy when Halloween trick-or-treating is over.
