Operation Teddy Bear Dental Supply Drive
One of the most coveted items in our Operation Teddy Bear schoolbag is the toothbrush. It may seem hard for many of us to believe, but a majority of the students we serve through this Volunteer Center program share a toothbrush with family members, if they have one at all. Since we want the students to focus on school, NOT on how they haven't brushed their teeth, we are conducting an Operation Teddy Bear Dental Supply Drive now through September 28!
Next time you're at the store, please consider picking up some single, individually-packaged toothbrushes and/or travel-sized toothpaste. You can also ask your dentist to donate a box of either or both of these items. Email marketing@volcenter.org if you would like a printable request letter to take with you when you visit your dentist. Donations can be dropped off in the lobby of our office in Torrance (1230 Cravens Ave.) Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
We've made it easy to support the Dental Supply Drive through Amazon.com by adding items to our new Wish List. Skim the wish list at http://bit.ly/vcwishlist and consider adding something to your cart. These items will be sent directly to the Volunteer Center, and if you use AmazonSmile during check out, we will also benefit from the total purchase (complete details about AmazonSmile at http://bit.ly/vcamazonsmile).
