Join A Wider Circle to create oral care kits for families in need. You'll work as a team to provide supplies for and assemble kits.
Each volunteer will need to bring items to contribute to the kits. Your site coordinator will be in touch to coordinate who is bringing what from the following items:
Oral Care Kits
- Toothbrushes: 100 CNT = $29
- Toothpaste: 6 CNT = $8
- Floss: 144 CNT = $54
- Bag: 100 CNT = $12
Volunteer Instructions:
When you arrive, you can head directly into the main entrance (two glass double doors), but be sure to check in with a member of the volunteer team to be signed in.
