WASHINGTON -- if you are thinking about what to do with the mounds of sugar headed to a trick or treat bag near you, here's an idea. Trade in your candy for money and do something sweet for troops serving overseas. Some dentists across the nation and in the DC area will purchase back candy for $1 a pound.
Then, they'll send the candy to our soldiers and ladies abroad. Dentists say it's a method to get keep kids's teeth healthy and to get them into an office, even if just for an instant. We called many offices to approve the collaboration. However before you head out, give your selected office a call to line up a drop off time. Only a few showers are possible during trick or treating time.
