THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR 2021 FUNDRAISER
Our community spirit of giving is stronger than ever this year! Support our cause by contributing today!
Join us in kicking off the holiday season with some gift-giving and cheer! We’ve been working hard all of 2021 to serve a vulnerable population in Oakland that needs our help more than ever now. With changes in our community, we have adapted and continue to provide our patients with outstanding, whole person dental care. In order to meet our 2021 goals before the year ends, we ask for your generosity.
83% of our patients make less than $15k annually.
Many are facing social needs and are seeking help with basic necessities such as food, housing, utilities, and healthcare access.
Oakland is a community concentrated with poverty, ranked 21% in federal poverty level with 47.4% poverty rate in Alameda County
Our Impact
This year, we served over 735 patients and provided over 2,447 types of services. In total, our efforts amounted to more than $534,987 of value and $727 worth of services per patient.
Because our patients tend to be marginalized older adults missing teeth, a large percent of our services involve making dentures for these patients.
2022 Wish List
With a growing demand for dental care in our community, especially as emergency care rises, we aim to increase our capacity to serve more patients.
We plan to onboard more team members and providers, expand the types of dental services we offer, and renovate our equipment in order to continue providing quality care.
Your contribution will help:
support our daily operations
sustain our supplies and equipment
secure the safety of our patients and providers
improve the health of our community
and ultimately enable us to keep serving in our mission.
Thank you!
YOUR SUPPORT GOES A LONG WAY
Thanks to you, we’re on our way to meeting our goal! Please continue to share the word!
