The candy, donated by children across North Central WV through the dental office’s 2019 Trick or Treat for Our Troops Candy Buy Back program, is heading to local WV Armed Forces who are deployed overseas and on support missions throughout North America during this holiday season. The holiday gift boxes will be assembled and shipped by the volunteers and members of the 1-201st Soldier and Family Readiness Group (SFRG).
Assisting with the delivery, donation and distribution of the candy were Armory Team Members: CPT James Wikle and Carrie Parrack, 1-201st HHB FA SFRG President, our Dental Facilities Director, Todd Thompson and our Director of Marketing, Wendy Boyce.
