Win Win Win
We went to two trunk-or-treats, Halloween night, cleaned out our candy getting rid of all the unsafe candy to give to the Switch Witch, and we still have way too much candy.
It was so much fun to do all those things, but not just for health reasons and not eating too much sugar, we really don’t need this much candy. There is no way each child will even eat all the candy they have before it goes bad.
We have got a win-win-win situation for you, if you find yourself in the sam predicament!

Great for Kids with Food Allergies, Celiac, and Diabetes!
It’s not just kids with food allergies that have lots of unwanted or unsafe candy. Kids with celiac and diabetes also like to enjoy the festivities of Halloween, but may have lots of unsafe or unwanted candy to donate.
What Happens to the Candy Collected by Halloween Candy Buyback Participating Dentists, Orthodontists, and Other Businesses
They turn in the candy to Halloween Candy Buyback, and they in turn donate that candy to organizations such as Operation Shoebox, and Move America Forward. It then in turn is sent to our troops in care packages!
