Dental Offices Host Eight-Week Food Drive

An Elegant Smile Joins St. Vincent de Paul’s Million Can Crusade

Phoenix — In Arizona, 1 in 5 households do not have enough money to buy food, ranking Arizona the 17th highest in the country. To help those in need, An Elegant Smile Comprehensive Family and Specialty Dentistry will be collecting canned goods in their nine locations throughout Arizona, November through the end of December.

Throughout the eight weeks, An Elegant Smile Comprehensive Family and Specialty Dentistry will be drawing awareness to the growing number of Arizona residents in need. “We are dedicated to helping our community and giving back to those in need,” said Julie Hymovitch. “The economic crisis has challenged everyone to re-evaluate their lives and decide what is truly important to them. While cutting back on things like eating out or buying a new pair of shoes seems like an obvious answer to the average person, it leaves little room for the homeless and working poor in our country and here in Arizona.”

An Elegant Smile is encouraging everyone to show philanthropic strength by participating in the dental offices’ first annual food drive.
