Decatur Co. Health Department collecting Halloween candy for cash

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – Two local organizations are teaming up for their annual candy buy-back initiative. 

The Decatur County Health Department and Noles Family Dental is hosting the third annual event on Wednesday, November 5. 

Families can bring in unopened Halloween candy in exchange for cash! 

Receive $3 per pound of candy with a limit of $30 per person. 

The candy will then be given to National Guard members and veterans. 

Bring the unopened candy to the health department from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday. It is located at 315 South Ireland Street. 

The cash option is available to families only, as businesses will not be compensated for making donations.

Any additional questions can be answered by calling (812) 663-8301.
