This organization provides low cost family dental services and dresses hundreds of needy school age children in the Redlands and Yucaipa-Calimesa School Districts in partnership with Kohl's Department stores. They raise most of their money via their thrift shop located at 506 West Colton Avenue in Redlands. This organization gives back 92% of their earnings to the community. Most impressive is that they run this organization totally with volunteers (excepting the dental professionals).
