What:
Provide free dental care in the Pacific Northwest to low-income individuals with urgent needs.
When:
Commit to one day a week, month, quarter or year. Volunteers choose which day and how often.
Where:

More than 2 million children and adults in the Pacific Northwest live below federal poverty levels. These families cannot afford basic dental care. Many more of the families earn too much to receive welfare, but too little to afford the escalating cost of insurance or dental care.
