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! To find a participating buyback in your area, use the ZIP code search at the top of the page to find an event close by. 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 Veteran’s organizations.
