Help Us Support Feed More This Holiday Season!
This holiday season, Midlothian Family Dentistry is proud to partner with Feed More to help fight hunger in our community. From now through December 19th, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food items at our office for families in need across Central Virginia.
We’ve planned donation drop-offs during Thanksgiving week and Christmas week, ensuring that your generosity reaches local families in time for the holidays. Every can, box, or bag makes a difference — together, we can help provide hope and nourishment during this special time of year.
Please consider bringing a donation during your next visit or stopping by our office to drop one off. Thank you for helping us support Feed More’s mission to nourish our neighbors and spread kindness this season!
