The Candy Buy Back Program is a collaborative effort among local health agencies and other community members to address the issue of childhood obesity and dental health among our local children. During the Candy Buy Back Program, children will bring in their surplus unopened candy into participating dental and pediatric offices. The offices will give the kids $1 for each pound of candy brought in during the days following Halloween/Harvest Celebrations. Participating shipping stores will ship the candy "at cost" to Operation Gratitude who ships the candy to our US troops. http://www.opgratitude.com/

Here is your chance to show our brave service men and women how much you appreciate them. Join us as we "treat our troops" and support our children's health!

As responsible community members, and US citizens, Candy Buy Back has found a way to keep the fun, while helping kids and our troops deployed overseas.

Program partners include Healthy Kids Choice, Inc, The San Diego Dental Society, The San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative, and Palomar Pomerado Health - Community Action Council.

Walking and biking have decreased more than 40% during the past 3 decades, partly because of unsafe routes and poor walking conditions (Active Living Research, 2009).
