RESILIENCE CAMPAIGN
Support Our Community Post COVID-19
For nearly 20 years, Wake Smiles has enabled thousands in the Wake County area to get free dental care — freeing them of dental disease, preventing further infection, and offering dignity and life-giving care.
Support the Resilience Campaign.
We have served as a place where aspiring dentists and licensed professionals volunteer side-by-side to give people the dental care they deserve. We are so proud of the impact we have had on the lives of those that are under-resourced in our community and now we ask for your help.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, small charities like Wake Smiles have a very real chance of not making it through and although we are optimistic about our future, it is a time of uncertainty for all of us.
One of our values at Wake Smiles is, “Gratitude — we do important work with humility and believe that every encounter we have with partners in care, donors, and volunteers is something to be celebrated.”
We would be so grateful for your participation in giving at this time. Please consider being part of our network of donors by giving to our RESILIENCE CAMPAIGN today!
