Catena Creations helped to coordinate another successful Halloween Candy Buy Back this year at Omaha Emergency Dental. We collected 124 pounds of candy to be sent to our soldiers overseas by Operation Gratitude.
We bought back 88 pounds of candy from kids, and gave them free toothbrushes. The rest was donated by adults who wanted to give their leftover Halloween candy to the troops for a treat.
Thanks to all the kids and parents who came by Omaha Emergency Dental on Monday, Nov. 1 for the Halloween Candy buy back, sponsored by Michael Obeng, DDS. We paid out $95 and gave toothbrushes to kids who brought in their treats and sold them for $1 a pound.
But the fun wasn’t limited to the kids. Throughout the day, adults stopped by the office at 84th and Center streets to drop off their candy just so the troops could have more treats. That added another 36 pounds of candy, bringing the total to about 131 pounds.
