Funds raised are earmarked for purchasing a new Mobile Dental Health Center for children and where the need is greatest. Neighborhood enjoys a strong relationship with our local school districts and we appreciate the opportunities to partner, where there is need. Our first Mobile Dental Health Center began operating in the Jurupa and San Jacinto Unified School Districts late last year and see a full schedule of children, Monday through Friday. With your help, our second Mobile Dental Health Center will serve children in North San Diego County. As we continue to grow, we will seek expansion of this vital and important service for children in all the communities we serve.  If applicable, any balance remaining from the purchase of the additional unit will be designated towards Where the Need is Greatest.
