While it’s easy to joke that Halloween may not be your dentist’s favorite holiday, one dentist in Ohio is making the most of it year after year.
Dan Carmichael — who has a dental practice in Independance, Ohio (near Cleveland) — BUYS extra Halloween candy from kids to donate to troops.
Dr. Dan will pay $2 for a pound of candy to kids who shop up in a costume, and $1 per pound for those sans costume.
He donates all of the candy to a group called Operation Gratitude, who sends half a million pounds of candy to service members deployed overseas.
Some candy also goes to first responders to hand out to kids in underprivileged communities — because a lot of them don’t get the opportunity to go trick-or-treating.
If you have extra Halloween candy and want to get involved with Operation Gratitude, you can check out more information on their website HERE.
