Volunteers Needed for Mission of Mercy Dental Clinic
Kirksville will be the host of the Missouri Mission of Mercy (MOMOM), a large-scale dental clinic, Aug. 3-4.
The clinic provides free oral health care to patients of all ages who cannot otherwise afford or access care. MOMOM events across America have helped more than 238,000 patients and have provided nearly $155 million in free dental services since 2000. In Missouri, more than 6,100 dental and general volunteers have provided more than $5.6 million in free care to 9,735 patients.
Volunteers are critical to the success of these clinics because of the large numbers of patients seen. In particular, there is a need of volunteers to help with the clinic set up Aug. 2 and the clinic tear down Aug. 4. There is also a need for more volunteer interpreters that speak Spanish and French.

The clinic will take place in Pershing Arena. More information about the clinic is available here. Specific patient-related questions can be found at modental.org/about-us/mda-foundation/missouri-mission-of-mercy/patient-faq.
