Hersch Pediatric Dentistry hosted two events that will become annual traditions.
We hosted the 1st Annual Halloween Candy Buy-Back and the 1st Annual Holiday Food Drive.
Children in the community were offered $1.00 per pound of candy they brought into our office. The candy was then sent to Operation Gratitude to send to the US Troops around the world. In our first buy-back event, we collected just under 300 pounds of candy in one afternoon. This amount of candy was collected with only 4 days prior notice. Next year, we hope to collect 750-1000 pounds by improving our announcements and expanding our efforts.
We also hosted a Food Drive to benefit Families Forward of Orange County. Hersch Pediatric Dentistry, jointly with Walkow Orthodontics, collected food at our office locations and several schools throughout Newport Beach and Costa Mesa and delivered it to Families Forward in Orange County. We collected an entire Suburban full of food. No doubt, that in this time of economic hardship, many children and families benefited from this event.
