Things we want to work on.

A network of dental practices that each pledge a small, set amount of care every month or quarter, matched with neighbors who need it.

Dental care is one of the hardest things to get when you're uninsured or underinsured. The idea: dental practices across Richmond sign up to donate a set amount of services each month or quarter. That could be one cleaning, two exams, a filling or an hour of chair time, whatever the practice can spare. We'd keep a running pool of pledged appointments and match them with neighbors who need care, the same way the community fridge works: no proof, no gatekeeping, no questions. Practices that join get matched with people near them and we handle the introductions.
