It’s that time… the trick-or-treaters are done for the night, and you’re either left with extra candy or have kids whose coffers are more than full. What to do? Check out the Candy Buyback program! Two local Queen Anne dentist offices are participating, and it’s a sweet deal for kids and the troops overseas too!
Halloween Candy Buyback is a program where extra Halloween candy gets sent to troops overseas via Operation Gratitude. The program sends 60,000 care packages with Halloween candy to the troops – last year, they shipped 127.5 tons of Buyback candy.
Dentists participate and help promote good dental hygiene for kids by buying back the extra candy. Here are the local participating Queen Anne dentists, with the key details on their hours and deals for candy (note: only unopened candy).
