Halloween Candy Exchange at Maple Grove Clinic Monday

Use your Halloween goodies to treat the nation's military personnel serving overseas. In exchange for the unopened candy donated at a local clinic, children will receive a book. Last year, the program resulted in a sweet haul, with more than 1,000 pounds of candy distributed to troops, according to a news release.

This year, thanks to a collaboration between University of Minnesota Physicians and University of Minnesota Medical Center, two clinics are opening their doors for the exchange, including one in Maple Grove.
