So, gather your chosen community, roll up your sleeves, and join us in helping feed women experiencing homelessness in Chicago!

We wanted to give another shoutout to the Dental Access Days professionals who joined us last Saturday to provide care to our clients at Sarah's Circle! We're so thankful they are part of our continuum of care, ensuring our clients have access to crucial dental care.

At Sarah's Circle, we envision a safe and secure home for every woman in Chicago, allowing them a place to thrive. That includes access to healthcare through opportunities like Dental Access Days and our weekly primary care and psychiatry clinic.

This past Saturday, Dental Access Days transformed the Sarah's on Lakeside multi-purpose room into a nine chair dental office, ready to care for our clients. DAD is a Chicago-area non-profit organization that connects volunteer dental professionals with individuals who can't access dental care, often due to homelessness or poverty. This year, DAD cared for 34 women from Sarah's Circle, donating over $40k in dental care!

Thank you to the phenomenal dental professionals who joined us this weekend!
