Have you ever stopped and wondered what happens to the uneaten food that is left behind at professional conferences? Where do all the unused toothbrushes that venders are unable to distribute end up? Hygienists For Humanity, asks that question, gets an answer, and finds vulnerable communities that can benefit from usable oral hygiene products and food! We all got into healthcare because we want to
help others, right? Helping others can reach beyond our clinical practice... but how? That very question was pondered as Alicia bypassed the homeless on the trail of a 5k run. The bigger question was, do others see these homeless people? How can we do more? If we don't help them, who will? Hygienists For Humanity is a 501c3 charitable organization and our mission is to connect US communities that experience homelessness with usable food and quality oral hygiene products. We will travel around the country to professional development conferences and salvage unused food as well as collect donations from venders and attendees and donate to shelters who assist those experiencing homelessness. As our organization grows, we strive to help marginalized communities gain access to dental care. We strive to be a catalyst for healthcare providers to support communities around the country who are experiencing homelessness. Alicia, Alyssa, Kayla, and Chaina have joined forces and have decided that 'doing angel's work' is the very least they can do. Join us as we quest to participate in homeless giving events at professional development conferences in a city near you!
2018 is going to be phenomenal! Join us at ADHA's 95th Annual Conference in Columbus as we collect oral hygiene products and donate to the neighboring homeless shelter. Hygienists For Humanity is excited to announce we are going to execute a large domestic giving event at RDH Under One Roof in Washington, DC in August 2018. We need your support! All donations, whether monetary or in-kind, will directly support our cause to connect the homeless with usable food and quality oral hygiene products. We truly believe that we are all just angels with one wing and we fly higher together! Join us on our mission- you'll be so glad that you did! We're Doing Angel's Work....
