Vacca Family Dentistry is pleased to join the Chesterfield Food Bank in helping ease hunger in our community. According to a newly released study, 45% of Central Virginia households have experienced food insecurity in the past year . There is no better time to come together as a community and make a difference. Food donations provide essential support for individuals and families who work hard but still struggle to put food on the table. With your help, our goal is to collect 500+ food items for Chesterfield Food Bank . In an effort to show our appreciation for helping us reach this goal, we’ll be giving away an Ultimate Smile and Self-Care Basket, including an electric toothbrush, whitening kit and other special thank you gifts. Here’s how you can help - and win our Thank You gift: For every 5 non-perishable food items , receive an entry! Maximum 5 entries per person. Bring in a new, unopened toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, or other dental care item and receive one BONUS entry! Help spread the word! Pick up a few Food Drive flyers at our office to share with friends, family and co-workers. Each flyer includes suggested items most in need. Thank you for your support. Together, we can help ease hunger and spread a few smiles along the way!
