Cummings Dental Partners with Hoosier Hills Food Bank for Holiday Food Drive!
This holiday season, Cummings Dental is joining forces with Hoosier Hills Food Bank to make a lasting impact in our Bloomington community. We're calling on all of our friends and neighbors to participate in this important cause, and we invite you to help us spread joy and hope to those who need it most.
Why This Food Drive Matters
Food insecurity continues to be a pressing issue in the United States, with approximately 13.5% of households, about 1 in 7 families experience some level of food insecurity in 2023.This means that millions of families struggle with not having consistent access to enough nutritious food. In fact, nearly 47 million people in the U.S. are affected by food insecurity.
The effects are especially felt by vulnerable groups like children, seniors, and low-income families, who may go without balanced meals, resulting in long-term health complications and emotional stress. It's in times like these that community-driven efforts, like food drives, truly make a difference in the lives of those who need our help the most.
Why We Give Back
At Cummings Dental, we believe in the power of community. We chose to lay down roots in the beautiful city of Bloomington Indiana and we’re deeply invested in making a positive impact in our community not only by providing exceptional dental care but also by making sure our neighbors are supported in every aspect of their lives. This holiday season, let’s come together to help those who need it most. Your generosity will bring warmth and joy to so many this winter.
Together, we can help make sure that no one goes to bed hungry this holiday season. Thank you for being a part of this important initiative!
