Halloween Candy BuyBack: Trade Your Candy Stash for Cash

By Angeline Sheridan October 29, 2014
For the third year in a row, Twinkle Little Star Pediatric Dentistry located on 259 Kinderkamack Road in Westwood will be participating in the Halloween Candy BuyBack program again this year. The Halloween Candy Buyback program pays children $1 for every pound of candy they bring in to participating dentist offices. All candies are then shipped to Operation Gratitude for Holiday Care Packages for troops overseas. 




Through Collection Drives, Letter Writing Campaigns, Craft Projects and Donations of funds for shipping expenses, Operation Gratitude provides civilians anywhere in America a way to express their respect and appreciation to the men and women of the U.S. Military in an active, hands-on manner. Operation Gratitude is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based corporation, funded entirely by private donations. For safety and security, the assembling of all packages occurs at the Army National Guard Armory in Van Nuys, California. To date, over 1 million care packages have been sent to troops overseas.

Twinkle Little Star Pediatric Dentistry will be accepting candy donations to help support the troops on November 1 and 8 from 10AM to 5PM. For more information, call 201-358-0800.
