Greenville, SC — Dr. Ronald Wilson [http://www.greenvillesmiles.net/] and his dental practice, Greenville Smiles Family Dentistry, is helping to end hunger for Upstate families in need. For every new patient scheduled between now and December 31, 2011, Greenville Smiles will donate $15 to Harvest Hope Food Bank in Greenville. In addition, Dr. Wilson will match canned food donations can for can for patients and other members of the community that want to donate in-kind to Harvest Hope by bringing canned goods to his office.
According to Harvest Hope's website, a donation of $15 will feed a family for a whole week. Dr. Wilson believes we can all work together to make a difference in the lives of families who are lacking the basic necessities of life. Some of the items that are most needed include canned vegetables, canned meats and dry goods such as peanut butter and pasta, but also toiletries, diapers and detergent.
"We wanted to do something this year that could help make our community better, so creating a food drive for Harvest Hope seemed like the perfect gift," says Dr. Ronald Wilson. "We want to do our part to make sure everyone has something to smile about."
