Dentists Offer Halloween Candy Buyback Program

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-can-I-get-for-a-candy-apple? dept.

Kids in Pennsylvania have an option for all the Smarties they collected this Halloween other than a trash can thanks to two dentists. Nalin and Arpan Patel will donate $1 to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq for every pound of candy they receive. From the article: "The dentists are accepting candy from November 1-5, and hope what is collected will cheer US troops overseas. 'Now during these hard times, the spirit of giving and helping is needed more than ever,' they said."
