Operation Gratitude Candy Buy Back Will Help Soldiers Feel Sweet
Support troops by selling back your leftover Halloween candy to be sent as care packages.
Leftover candy from Halloween? Got too much while trick-or-treating? Sell it back!
Babylon Dental Care in the Great South Bay Shopping Center will be holding their annual Operation Gratitude Halloween Candy Buy Back, which will buy back your unopened candy to be sent to and enjoyed by our nation's soldiers.
Candy will be bought back for $1 per pound and up to five pounds will be bought back from children ages two through 16.
The buyback is a part of a nationwide effort that sends leftover Halloween treats to our armed forces serving throughout the world. Last year, the efforts across the country sent over 127.5 tons worth of care packages to soldiers.
Babylon Dental Care will be holding their Operation Gratitude on Wednesday, November 6 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Their facility is located in the Great South Bay Shopping Center at 785 Montauk Highway, West Babylon.
