Kool Smiles|Operation Troop Treats

Kool Smiles, a leading provider of quality dental care in Houston, is coordinating for the third year, “Operation Troop Treats” to encourage children to bring their Halloween candy to Houston Kool Smiles dental office in exchange for a toy. The candy will then be sent in care packages to U.S. troops serving overseas via Operation Gratitude. Kool Smiles initiated the program in 2012 to help raise awareness about good dental hygiene and uplift American armed forces serving overseas.

In 2013, children and families donated more than three tons of candy for the troops through Operation Troop Treats. Kool Smiles is encouraging area families to exceed last year’s contribution.

How it works: Every child that donates at a Kool Smiles will receive one top for every 25 pieces of unopened candy in its original intended packaging. There is a limit of 3 toys per child and toys will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. In addition to the candy collected and the additional toys, Kool Smiles is donating 100 dental care packages for troops, as well as the fund to cover the assembly and shipment of 200 care packages.
