This Halloween, plan a trip to the dentist! Not to fill all the cavities from eating too many sweets, but to sell some of that sugary stuff and donate it to a great cause.
The Halloween Candy Buyback program and Operation Gratitude is a great way to bring your child’s candy stash down to a manageable level. Dentists who participate in the program agree to “buy back” the candy, either in cash, or with dental hygiene “goody bags”, coupons for local businesses, or the like. The dentists than box up the candy and send it to Operation Gratitude, who, in turn, creates care packages to send to our troops overseas. Last year, they send over 60,000 care packages!
To see if a dentist in your area is participating in the program, go to the Halloween Candy Buyback website by clicking here.
