Many families in Kansas City struggle each day to gain access to basic daily items like shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper, and so many other personal hygiene products. That’s why we are proud to continue partnering with Giving the Basics by holding a Dignity Drive in September.
“Giving back to our community is very important to us,” Dr. Jackie Sloop shared. “And Giving the Basics is a great fit for us as we know firsthand the importance of having small things like toothpaste available. We will donate boxes of toothbrushes and toothpaste, and we encourage our patients to take part too. This is an easy way to make a difference in the lives of others.”
“We are excited that Sloop Dental Co. has chosen to partner with Giving the Basics to promote health and human dignity for children and adults,” Joanie Sheeley, Director of Operations at Giving the Basics shared. “You and your patients are helping us provide security and comfort to the most vulnerable. This act of kindness will make a difference in the lives of thousands of people.”
