Premier Dental Care's Halloween Candy Buy Back for the Troops

Premier Dental Care has joined Operation Gratitude’s “Halloween Candy Buy Back” initiative, which collects candy to include in care packages for U.S. Troops. Premier Dental Care’s “2nd Annual Halloween Candy Buy Back” encourages families to exchange candy for cash or vouchers donated by other local businesses.

The event held at the dental office will include free pizza, snacks, and drinks from vendors such as Snickerdoodles Bakery and UTZ potato chips. Door prizes for adults attending include gifts from Starbucks Coffee and Players Family Amusement Center in Westminster, MD. Vouchers donated by Chick-fil-A, Greenmount Bowling, Pizza Hut, Hoffman's Ice Cream, Brother's Pizza, and Snickerdoodles Bakery are among the options available in exchange for candy (while supplies last). Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Operation Gratitude sends care packages to U.S. service members deployed in hostile regions, their children, veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors, and their care givers. Last year Premier Dental Care collected 65lbs. of candy and hopes to at least double it this year. For more information on Operation Gratitued, please visit www.OperationGratitude.com.
