Where Kids Can Earn Cash by Donating Halloween Candy to Troops
Are your kids a little too successful when it comes to Halloween trick-or-treating?
Here's a great way for them to share their sugary wealth while brightening the day of our troops and earning a few bucks too!
The Halloween Candy Buy Back is a national program which has worked with Operation Gratitude to send many tons of candy to our troops since 2005.
It's a simple way for kids to earn some cash while showing support for our troops. Kids can donate as much or as little of their Halloween as they want.
Most participating locations pay $1 per pound of candy with a limit on the number of pounds that can be redeemed for cash. Some locations offer coloring and other activities for kids to enjoy as they turn in their candy.
