New Town Dental Arts Donates Halloween Candy to Troops
In its seventh year, the Treats for Troops drive collected unopened Halloween candy to send to the nation’s military.
Held by New Town Dental Arts, this year’s drive was supported by the Matoaka Elementary School PTA, which gave more than 300 pounds of treats.
All candy went to U.S. troops and the local USO.
