From Public Citizens for Children and Youth (http://www.pccy.org):
Parents call PCCY at 215-563-5848 x21 to make an appointment starting April 1st for free dental care during children’s spring break. PCCY’s Give Kids a Smile event is particularly for children who are uninsured or who lack access to regular dental care. However, ALL children in the region can participate. Children 0 – 21 years will be seen at participating dental offices in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware and Bucks counties. Appointments are required.
We can make appointments for 750 children – but only if you help us spread the word!
- Post the flyer in your office, at your front desk, etc. where families can see it. The flyer is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, French, and Haitian-Creole, available for download at www.pccy.org/smileday.
