Preschoolers donate candy to SOAR

For the second year, Joyful Noise Preschool collected Halloween candy from students and families for the local chapter of Support our American Recruits. The preschool, a ministry of Zion Lutheran Church, coordinated a drive to collect unwanted and extra candy. The children willingly donated their Halloween treats, which were delivered in time for SOAR to include with holiday care packages.

Free x-rays for Halloween candy

Witch by Elayna Slyder, age 6

Patient First wants everyone to enjoy the frightful fun this Halloween by offering free digital X-ray imaging of Halloween candy.

An adult should always inspect the candy before allowing a child to enjoy the sweet rewards of their trick-or-treating. This free X-ray offer is an additional precaution parents may consider. It will help provide parents peace of mind about the treats their children receive by possibly detecting objects like glass, metal or plastic.

Bags of candy may be brought into any Patient First neighborhood medical center from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31. In York County, a branch is located at 2960 E. Market St.

Parents still need to provide supervision since some foreign materials may not appear in X-rays.
