What is the Halloween Candy Buyback?
Buybacks are held at local businesses, traditionally but not limited to dental offices. With the goal of removing excess Halloween candy from kids while supporting our troops, the Buyback is a great platform to help multiple causes while promoting your business!
Participants buy back kids’ Halloween candy at a scheduled event with cash, xylitol products, coupons, toothbrushes, creative exchanges – They can partner with local businesses to give away coupons for food, services, goods, etc. They can give away hygiene kits or coupons for their office as well! Contact the participant to find out the date, time, and details of their event. You may also ship your candy directly to our non-profit military care package organizations.

Send Candy: TROOPATHON OPERATION CENTER or WAREHOUSE
Just box up and ship. No sorting, no weighing or anything else. There are no forms to fill out, just send your candy and items in its original wrapping. When it arrives, our volunteers will weigh and account for everything received. Please include your contact info so we know who to thank. We will send updates to everyone who participates! 0
