“The 'Treats for Troops' program is such a great way to not only say 'thank you' to those who are serving and those who have served, but it also helps to reduce the amount of candy our local children eat after the Halloween holiday,” said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group.“Tooth decay is one of the most common diseases of childhood, and this is a fun way to help smiles stay healthy.”

This is the ninth year of the“Treats for Troops” program, which brings candy to deployed service members, National Guard members, reservists, and veterans in VA medical facilities. The Spodak Dental Group team is proud to not only support our troops, but also is happy to encourage children to donate their candy instead of eating it, which will help to reduce tooth decay.

Since the campaign's launch in 2016, the organization has sent 594,970 pounds of Halloween candy around the globe. The goal for 2024 was 150,000 pounds.

“The annual Soldiers' Angels 'Treats for Troops' program is not just about candy,” said Soldiers' Angels President and CEO Amy Palmer.“It's about bringing the joy of home to our deployed service members wherever they are during the Halloween season.”

Candy and handwritten letters and drawings were collected at Spodak Dental Group, located at 3911 W. Atlantic Ave., the week after Halloween during normal business hours. Spodak Dental Group gave kids $1 per pound, up to 5 pounds maximum.
