Resource Center Sponsors Dental Van Visit

 

April 10, 2014



WAITSBURG -- The Waitsburg Resource Center sponsored a visit from the Northwest Medical Teams International Mobile Dental Van last Friday. Volunteers Randy Pearson, DDS and assistant Diana Larsen were able to serve six patients during the 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. visit, though more were on the waiting list.

Pam Conover, a Resource Center Board member, said the cost of the van is $600. The Waitsburg High School National Honor Society donated over $400 toward the visit. "We've been receiving more donations of money -- designated specifically for the resource center -- rather than just food donations. That has allowed us to be able to offer programs like this," said Conover.

The Resource Center runs a backpack program through the schools, has donated backpacks to the elementary school and is planning a Healthy Snack Day during the Summer Reading Program at the library this summer. "We're always looking for ways to serve the community. We want to be more," said Conover.
