Why:
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.
Mobile Dental volunteers must complete and return the Mobile Dental application as well as read the Child Protection policy.
