Pine Street Inn Volunteer Days
|
This summer, the Starts With A Smile team was fortunate enough to spend time volunteering at Pine Street Inn.
We worked in the kitchen on two separate occasions, helping out with meal prep and getting an opportunity to serve food to Pine Street’s incredible community. Working first-hand with the very people who we strive to serve was an incredibly rewarding experience, and reaffirmed the necessity of our work. We are are ecstatic about the relationship that we have formed with Pine Street Inn, and we are excited to continue working with them in the future. |

First Annual Benefit
Starts With A Smile successfully hosted our very first annual benefit on December 2nd 2017 at Repair The World. A night in Brooklyn dedicated to charity, live music, food, drinks and fun. A chance to get acquainted with our organization and an opportunity to network with local dentists and community members.
For every dollar generated from this event, we donated a toothbrush and a toothpaste to the Women In Need shelter in Brooklyn, promoting oral health to those in need.
Special thank you to our partners who made this night possible:
Wino(t), Drink Lounge, Radeberger, Cocoa Grinder, Meme's Healthy Eats and Gloria's Caribbean Lounge.

Community Collaboration with St. Patrick's School Drive in Stoneham, MA
We would like to give a special thanks to the National Junior Honor Society at St. Patrick’s School in Stoneham, MA. Last fall, the National Junior Honor Society, in conjunction with Starts With A Smile, took on an ambitious project of running their own oral health care donation drive as part of a semester long service project to help those less fortunate in their community. NJHS members went to various classrooms in the school to provide information on the importance of oral health and the necessity of donations of toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and mouthwash to those who are in need. Thanks to all of their hard work and dedication, a total of 520 toothbrushes, 320 floss containers, 19 bottles of mouthwash, and 357 tubes of toothpaste were donated to Rosie’s Place, earlier this year. |

Mother's Day 2017
Our Mother's Day 2017 event at Roche Bros. was an astounding success! Thanks to your generosity and compassion, we collected well over 336 essential oral care packages, which has been donated to Rosie’s Place. This Mother's Day was made significant and allows us to continue to support the oral health care needs of poor and homeless women, not excluding, grandmothers, mothers and daughters who depend on the shelter. We are dedicated to continuing our mission of helping our community, one donation drive at a time. Remember, it all Starts With A Smile!
