Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child Processing Center
Each year, Inter-Chrome Dental is honored to volunteer at Operation Christmas Child’s processing center in North Carolina in December. Millions of shoebox gifts are collected each year to bring hope and joy to children around the world. Volunteers carefully inspect and prepare the boxes for international shipment.
Operation Christmas Child Collection Program
Samaritan’s Purse hosts Operation Christmas Child and once again this year our team was excited to participate with help from our local dental community. We distributed empty shoeboxes to our clients who then so generously helped us custom fill each box. This year we gathered 136 boxes! We delivered these to a local collection center. The boxes were then trucked to a national processing center in Charlotte, NC where they were checked, boxed and shipped to various remote locations all over the world. Thank you to our clients for your participation!
National Food Bank Day
On Friday, September 3rd, our country recognized National Food Bank Day! In the United States millions of individuals and children face hunger and food insecurity every day.
In honor of this day and in support of our community, Inter-Chrome team members came together to collect non-perishable items for our local food pantry! We are so excited to be able to directly impact our community and help those in need.
Thank you to our team for supporting this cause! Visit Feeding America to learn more about hunger and food insecurity in our country and how you can help!

ORAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!
oralcancercause.org
Interchrome has partnered with several local & national organizations in the realm of oral cancer awareness, including a local fitness club, Unify, & the Oral Cancer Cause, headed by our friend Linda Miles.
A lot of attention is paid to oral cancer during the month of April, and as it winds down we want to continue to bring awareness to the fact that your general dentist can help you diagnose oral cancer suspicions! If you have a friend or family member that has even an inkling of a place in the mouth that feels abnormal for any length of time, encourage them to get to a screening, it may just save their life.
