Community Outreach

For our second year, we are teaming up with six (6) prominent dental offices as our chosen partners for a county-wide food drive to benefit families who rely on donations to help feed their families.
​
This year, Candy for Cans will start November 1, 2024 with our dental partners serving as community collection points for patients and members of their local communities. From November 1-4, our partners will collect Halloween candy and then starting November 5 switch fully to canned/boxed food items as we stock the local food bank in time for the holidays.  The food drive will close in time for Thanksgiving.  
 
Every week, we will visit our partner offices to count and collect donations for the Loudoun Hunger Relief. 
 
Loudoun Hunger Relief (LHR) serves over 600 families each week in Loudoun County, Virginia  and supplies tens of thousands of pounds of food to individuals each year.
 
Like any food bank, LHR needs help in keeping its supplies high especially during the holidays. We were surprised to learn that Thanksgiving is a time of great concern.
​
Last year, Morgan Orthodontics won a special team-building day at Top Golf as our "thank you" for working hard to collect nearly 2,000 food items. This year, everyone will be a winner with a special gift to each of our participating offices.  
 
By supporting this cause, our dental partners are directly contributing to the well-being of their neighbors and our community during a special time where food is essential to gratefulness and gatherings. While the candy component adds a fun twist, the focus will be on collecting non-perishable food items.  For more information and press coverage, please check out the below links.
