Bryn Mawr Hospital Hosting Candy Exchange For Kids With Dietary Restrictions
If your kids can't eat the treats often given out on Halloween, they have a chance to trade them for prizes and healthy snacks next week.
BRYN MAWR, PA – Those whose children have dietary restrictions know how hard the Halloween season can be as their kids watch friends and family munch on sugary and salty treats typically given out this season. Luckily, Bryn Mawr Hospital is hosting a special event for kids who are unable to eat the Halloween candy they get this year.
The hospital is hosting a Halloween Candy Exchange where kids 4 to 18 years old with insulin-dependent diabetes and food allergies can trade in their candy for things they can actually enjoy.
The exchange will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1 at Bryn Mawr Hospital, 130 S. Bryn Mawr Ave., Bryn Mawr.
