If you’re a parent, one thing scarier than Halloween is the thought of your child hopped up on their Halloween candy. If you’d like to limit their sugar intake and help a good cause at the same time, consider participating in Operation Gratitude’s Halloween Buy Back Program which “sends the candy to U.S. Military deployed in harm’s way”.
The program encourages area dentists to “buy back” children’s Halloween candy by offering them something in exchange. Many dentist offices will hold Buy Back events in the days following Halloween. In return for donating candy, children could receive money, toothbrushes, coupons or raffle tickets for a prize, among other things.
To find a participating dentist check out the list below or visit the Halloween Candy Buy Back website and call to find out when their Buy Back event takes place.
If you live on a base that doesn’t have nearby participating dentists, Operation Gratitude officials said you can send candy directly to the organization. They ask that you fill out and mail a donation along with the candy, ship it to arrive by Dec. 5, at the following address:
