We offer free medical and dental services to those in need.

We go 3 times a year. Trips are usually in February, June and November. All trips are posted on our website under “Serving Opportunities.” We leave on Friday mornings — meeting around 6 am — and we return on Sunday afternoon around 1 pm.

If it is your 1st time, you will need to create a profile under the “Login/Register” tab. Make sure you select the trip you want to attend. If you are a returning volunteer, you login and edit your profile to select the trip you want to attend.

We will take a group photo before we leave, so have it handy to throw on over your clothes.
