Did your kids bring home enough Halloween candy to feed an army? Well, they can use it to feed an army, literally, through the Halloween Candy Buyback ProgramOperation Gratitude collects candy from dentists nationwide and then sends out 60,000 care packages every year to deployed military. 

Go to HalloweenCandyBuyback.com and enter your zip code to find a local dentist who participates in the Candy Buyback Program. In many cases, dentists will either give kids $1 for every pound of candy they donate, or they will provide kids with fun toothbrushes or other tokens of appreciation.

This video is longer than 30 seconds, but we think it's worth it.
