I posted about this program last year, but it’s time to remind everyone that you can sell your Halloween candy. Yep, turn all that chocolaty goodness into cash or prizes!
Head over to the Halloween Candy Buy Back website to find a participating dentist in your area. This is a great way to get some of the mountains of candy out of your house and give back to our troops.
How does the program work?
- Participating dentists “buy” back kids’ Halloween candy at a scheduled event
- “Buy” with cash, coupons, toothbrushes, creative exchanges – They can partner with local businesses to give away coupons for food, services, goods, etc. They can give away the Hygiene Kits, they can set up an Opportunity Prize–each kid gets a ticket per pound of candy for an opportunity drawing to win special prizes, etc.
- Dentists send the candy to Operation Gratitude or other Military support groups
- Operation Gratitude sends the candy to U.S. Military deployed in harm’s way
*If you don’t have a participating dentist in your area, just call your local dentist. My kids dentist has a candy buy back program where they pay per lb of candy. It’s not part of the above program but you can still get rid of the extra sugar.
