Foundation Announces Sponsorship of EASTERN SHORE MISSION OF MERCY

May 11, 2012 - PRLog -- The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore has announced a $10,000 pledge to kick-off a drive to bring a Mission of Mercy project to the Eastern Shore.  The pledge will match the first $10,000 in contributions from the local community.

“Mission of Mercy” (MOM) projects are conducted across the country to bring quality dental care to underserved populations.  MOM Projects consist of over 100 volunteer dental professionals and several hundred volunteer staff who coordinate two-day dental clinics at locations around the country.  Two MOM’s have been coordinated in Western Maryland and one is planned for Southern Maryland in June.

The Eastern Shore MOM is being organized by the Eastern Shore Dental Society and is scheduled for March 15 & 16, 2013.  The MOM committee is chaired by Dr. Greg Allen of Salisbury.  The program’s goal is to provide dental services to 1000 local residents over the two-day clinic.

A MOM Fund has been established at the Community Foundation and contributions can be made payable to the Community Foundation with a memo notation “Eastern Shore MOM.”
