Medical Teams International
Nourish Food Bank "provides nutritious food and support services to people in need with compassion, dignity and respect. In 2024, Nourish distributed over 4.9 million pounds of food. Nourish operates 6 fixed location Food Banks and 15 additional Mobile Food Bank sites." Medical Teams is thrilled to provide urgent dental care services at Nourish Food Bank's monthly Free Dental Days event. This free dental clinic will feature free dental screenings for children, urgent dental care for adults, dental care kits, and many more insurance and dental care resources! US Programs seeks to strengthen the existing US healthcare system by filling crucial gaps in accessing urgent dental care. We ask all of our volunteers to come to their roles with compassion, understanding, and respect for the people we serve. Our volunteers aren’t just the heart and soul of our clinics — they’re the backbone of our work! Bringing free dental care and health screenings to underserved communities only happens because of compassionate professionals like you.
