Small Smiles Employees in Baltimore Give Back to the Community!

Since January, employees from Small Smiles of North Baltimore have been volunteering
at Sarah’s Hope. Sarah’s Hope is a shelter for homeless women and children on the west side of Baltimore. Housed in an old elementary school, Sarah’s Hope allows women and children to live together while they look for permanent housing.

The center provides hope for women who are struggling, but with limited means, there is only so much the center can do. The center has only one washer and dryer,
one TV, and a refrigerator that is only accessible by staff at meal times.

Once a month, the Small Smiles employees take time out of their busy schedules to purchase groceries, and prepare and serve a meal to the women and children of Sarah’s Hope.

Throughout the month, the Small Smiles staff also collects canned goods and baby products for the shelter. The staff at Small Smiles of North Baltimore calls their volunteer efforts “humbling” and are proud that the spirit of volunteerism has caught
on at their center.

We are proud of the CSHM-associated dental center employees at North Baltimore for making a difference in their community!
