OVERVIEW Do you (or someone you know) desperately need dental work but can't afford it? How about glasses or chiropractic work? Social services or legal aid? Some outside playtime for the kids? Now's your chance. People will be seen on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no charge or fee. All medical professionals and helpers are volunteers. Date: Saturday July 26, 2008 Event Time: 8 am - 4 pm Place:
Hillsboro
United Methodist Church What to expect: For dental: The client will be seen by a dentist for an appraisal. Then an appointment will be made with a local volunteer dentist to do the actual dental work, in the Dentists' own office (which may or may not occur on the same day). All dental work is free with no out-of-pocket expenses for the client.
