Restoring Smiles and Lives

We Need Your Help Now More Than Ever

COVID-19 is affecting all aspects of life right now and social distancing and staying home can be especially dangerous for people experiencing domestic violence. Give Back a Smile is committed to being there for survivors of domestic violence who desperately need our lifechanging smile restoration services. But, more than ever, we need your help. Although most dental treatment is on pause for now until offices can reopen, there are 112 people who have been receiving restorative dental care through Give Back a Smile and we continue to receive new applications for our services daily.

Each year, we rely on major funds raised from our annual Give Back a Smile event which had to be canceled. This is more than $30,000 in lost revenue and for our small charity, this is substantial.

Here’s how you can help survivors of domestic violence. Any amount makes a difference:

Participate in Steps for Smiles from the Comfort of Your Own Neighborhood
