Dentist buys extra Halloween candy and sends to troops

 

Dan Carmichel has a dental practice in Independence, Ohio, near Cleveland.  And each year, he BUYS kids’ extra Halloween candy from them, then donates it to the troops.

If the kids show up in costume, he buys their candy for $2 a pound.  If they show up without a costume, it’s $1 a pound.

 

He donates all of it to a group called Operation Gratitude that sends up to HALF-A-MILLION pounds of candy to service members deployed overseas each year.

Some of the candy also goes to first responders.  Then they hand it out to kids in underprivileged communities, because a lot of them don’t get a chance to go trick-or-treating.
