Family Dental Group in Fishkill Collects Candy for U.S. Troops

The dentists and team members at Family Dental Group gave our troops serving overseas a reason to smile. For the fourth year in a row, team members in Brewster, Fishkill and Yonkers collected candy as part of Operation Gratitude.

Family Dental Group encouraged Girl Scout Troops, Boy Scout troops, church groups, school groups, and other community organizations to collect candy after Halloween and bring it to one of its affiliated practices for shipment. Dental Solutions, Baystate Dental, Dental Associates of Northern Virginia and Gentle Dental are just some of the offices that participated this year.

Family Dental Group collected 43 pounds as its location at 1620 Routs 22. Collectively, the dental offices shipped over 4,450 pounds of candy to the troops this year, and more than 12,000 pounds of candy since it began participating in Operation Gratitude in 2013.

The candy packages are sure to bring smiles and it’s an easy way to say “thank you” to the American troops who are serving overseas to keep us safe. For more information, please call Family Dental Group at 845-279-4999.
