Huge shoutout to Director Nicole Baker and the Boys and Girls Club of Phillips County! 👦🏾👧🏾 We had a blast last week providing oral health education and fluoride varnish for the incredible kiddos, recently. 🪥

A BIG thank you to:
🦷 Arkansas Department of Health Oral Health Department for providing the varnish.
🦷Delta Dental of Arkansas & the Arkansas Oral Health Coalition for the great educational materials.

: Fluoride varnish is a quick, painless way to keep smiles strong! It strengthens tooth enamel, helps prevent cavities, and can even stop early decay in its tracks.

Want us to visit your youth group? We’d love to help! To schedule oral health education and varnish applications for your organization, call us at 501.686.2720. 🪥

We had an incredible day at New Light Missionary Baptist Church in Helena recently for the Arkansas Foodbank’s Emergency Food Distribution program! 🕊️📦 Events like this are more important than ever as we work together to address food insecurity—especially in Phillips County, where 1 in 5 of our neighbors face hunger every day. 🍎🧡

We were proud to be on-site providing free health screenings like blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol checks. 🩺 Shout out to the scholar-leaders at KIPP Delta Public Schools; they provided the ‘muscle’ of the operation, loading food boxes into cars and keeping the line moving! 💪🏽

Distributions like this are more than just giving out food boxes; it’s about taking care of the whole community. ❤️🏠 Thank you, Pastor Andre Valley, New Light, and Arkansas Food Bank for continuing to allow us to partner in this way. 🤝✨
