The Halloween Candy Buyback program in in its tenth year.

"The Halloween Candy Buyback buys candy from children after Halloween. We get candy off of the streets and send it in care packages to troops overseas. The troops get a brightened day and often share the candy with locals in a show of trust, sometimes acquiring key intel." (Source: Facebook)

The program’s founder, a Wisconsin dentist Chris Kammer, is trying to drum up 100,000 toothbrushes to donate along with the candy to overseas troops.

Halloween is over, but the buyback is just getting going. If you can’t find a local drop-off point, you can ship it yourself by sending it by mid-November to:

OPERATION GRATITUDE/ CA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
17330 VICTORY BLVD.VAN NUYS, CA 91406
ATTN: ANGEL CUEVAS / 262-674-7281
