Trade candy for toys at Evansville 'Kool Smiles' and help the troops
EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - The Evansville "Kool Smiles" dental office is coordinating for the fourth consecutive 'Operation Troop Treats', a program that helps give kid's teeth a post-Halloween break while giving our U.S. troops serving overseas a sweet reminder of their home.
Operation Troop Treats encourages children and their families to visit one of the two local Kool Smiles dental offices to exchange their Halloween candy for toys.
The donated candy will then be sent in care packages to U.S. troops serving overseas via Operation Gratitude.
In addition to the candy cargo, Kool Smiles is donating the funds to cover the assembly and shipment of 200 Operation Gratitude care packages to overseas troops, which will include dental kits from Kool Smiles.
The Evansville area Kool Smiles offices are participating from Friday, October 30 to Wednesday, November 4 during open office hours. Every child that comes in can receive one toy for every 25 pieces of unopened candy in its original intended packaging.
The program is open to everyone, regardless of whether they are Kool Smiles patients.
There is a limit of three toys per child and toys are distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Kool Smiles offices are located at the following addresses:
- Evansville Kool Smiles – 400 E. Diamond Ave., Evansville, IN 47711, 812-461-2365
