Bethany To Re-launch Mobile Dental Service In The Quad Cities This Year

The Give Kids a Smile Program is back after nearly 2 years. Everything gets started today with some amazing volunteers.

Today from 10 a.m. to noon at Bethany for Children & Families United Way, volunteers are getting to work and getting a lot done. They will assemble dental health kits and clean and sanitize the 39-foot dental bus. These Volunteers plan to re-launch its 'Give Kids a Smile' mobile dental clinic, after nearly two years of pandemic-related closure.
