What to Know About the Bash Dental Thanksgiving Community Food Drive

Dr. Richard N. Bash, DDS, voted as the top dentist in Bucks County, PA  in The Intelligencer Best of Bucks Mont Readers Poll, believes in giving back to the community.

‍

That is why we are kicking off the season of giving early by holding the Bash Dental Thanksgiving Community Food Drive. This event takes place from Mon. Oct. 24 until Mon. Nov. 14.

‍

Who Benefits

We are partnering with the Bucks County Opportunity Council to benefit those in need right here in Bucks County. Per their website, their mission to reduce poverty and partner with our community to promote economic self-sufficiency.

‍

This great community organization gave us the option to support one of 27 different providers and food banks. We chose to support the Bucks County Housing Group Doylestown Food Pantry. They dedicate their time to helping people who are dealing with food insecurity.

‍

Food insecurity is when households are uncertain of having or are unable to obtain enough food to take care of all members in the house. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, this issue affects 12.7 percent of American households. Food pantries are great ways of counteracting this sad occurrence.

‍

Items to Donate

We encourage members of the community and past, present and prospective patients to stop by and drop off food for this great cause. Suggested non-perishable food items include:

• Peanut Butter
• Canned Meats
• Sauces
• Oatmeal
• Pasta
• Beans
• Canned Fruit
• Infant Formula
• Pudding
• Tuna
• Rice
• Canned Vegetables

‍

These preferred foods must be non-expirable.

We are giving a 15 percent off coupon (up to $50) that’s good for the services received during one visit to our dental office for anyone who brings in three of the aforementioned food items.
