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.
