NVDHA Community
Outreach by Catherine
Q. Johnson
The Northern
Virginia Dental Hygiene Association Is Looking for Volunteers.
How does our community benefit when
you volunteer?
·
The Northern
Virginia Dental Clinic serves low-income, uninsured and underserved adult
residents of the metropolitan area.
·
In Fairfax County
alone, there are an estimated 170,000 individuals eligible for service by the
clinic.
·
Educating our
adult clients on the importance of good oral health will help their families
have a better understanding, hence, benefiting the whole family’s health and
dental care.
How do you benefit when you
volunteer?
·
By contributing
20 hours per calendar year, (July1- June 30), each volunteer will receive a tax
credit towards their own state taxes.
·
Obtain personal
satisfaction and growth in being part of a worthy cause.
·
The neighborhood
Association Program is the state’s credit program. The state is hoping that
this will be an incentive to recruit dental professionals to volunteer.
Please
spread the word and thank you for your support!
