Dental Care Hillsborough donates 875lbs of candy!

Dental Care Hillsborough and Treats for Troops

Each year Dental Care Hillsborough reaches out to the community to collect candy for the soldiers over seas. This year we partnered with Treats for Troops and collected a record breaking amount of candy, 875 pounds! We contacted the local schools, our patients and the community and gave the kids $1 per pound to donate their candy. This prevents the kids of Hillsborough and beyond from getting cavities and puts a few bucks in their pockets! Dental Care Hillsborough then ships the candy along with toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste and cards from the kids to Treats for Troops and they use the candy as packing material to ship other necessities to the soldiers! We are proud to support such a great cause and we thank our community for participating! For more information please visit our website www.DentalCareHillsborough.com
