We are kicking off our annual “Give A Smile” food drive starting today Monday, November 16th! Each year our office and our patients work together to provide food, clothing and dental supplies to local organizations who are resources for those in need in the Northwest Arkansas area. We also encourage other NWA Dental Offices to collect items as well, and our staff joyfully transports all that is collected for those offices who are kind enough to participate.
Each year it seems the need for the requested items only increases. Although we should remember to give and donate throughout the entire year, please join us in this worthy endeavor November 16th thru December 17th. The list of items below will provide guidance if you are not sure what is needed. Thank you for being part of this rewarding yearly opportunity to give back to your community hosted by Dr. Jeremy Smith!
