Halloween Candy Buy Back  — 2025 Edition 

 

It will be here before you know it so get ready to turn your treats into treasure! After the Halloween fun, join us on the blacktop:

 

Monday, Nov 3 & Tuesday, Nov 4 - 8:10 – 8:40 AM (before school)

Our awesome volunteers will weigh and collect wrapped candy — trading each pound of sweets for cold, hard cash!

 

We’re thrilled that Neal Smiles Orthodontics is back as our sponsor again this year—they’ll pay $1 per pound to reward healthy habits and then ship all the collected candy to support our U.S. Troops.

Why join in?

  •  Kids get paid for handing over candy

  •  Parents can breathe easy about sugar overload

  •  Troops overseas get a sweet surprise

So bring your candy, spread some joy, and help make a soldier’s day. We can’t wait to see you there!

 

We Need Morning Helpers! 
Want to join the fun? Help weigh candy, hand out cash, and keep the smiles flowing!
“A little weigh-in, a lotta grins — volunteer and join the fun begins!”
