Please Share: 🪥 October is National Dental Hygiene Month!
Here’s an easy way to turn your next dental cleaning into something more.
We’re asking dentists, dental offices, and friends of BHP to save the free toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss given out after cleanings and donate them to Baltimore Hunger Project.
These everyday essentials can make a meaningful difference for the children and families we serve—and it costs nothing extra to help.
🦷 Dentists: Consider starting a collection at your office.
🪥 Friends: Save your dental goodie bag after your next cleaning and bring it to BHP.
A healthy smile starts with having the basics. 💙
Thanks to an incredible group of volunteers, 570 Weekend Food Bags were packed and ready for our students, along with hygiene bags filled with essential items.
The energy in the warehouse was amazing—and so was the impact. Every bag packed means one more child has the food and resources they need to show up ready to learn.
Thank you to everyone who spent time with us and helped make it happen. This is what community looks like!
The empty plates are starting to show up—and every one adds another voice.
Hunger can be easy to overlook. That’s exactly why we’re asking our community to make it visible.
Grab a plate. Take a photo. Tell us why you are holding it. Tag someone else to keep it going.
And don’t stop there.
After you share your plate, choose one action you can take to help fill one.
Donate. Volunteer. Collect food. Engage your company. Tell someone about BHP.
Why are you holding your empty plate—and what will you do next?
“I am holding a plate to remind me that food fuels my body so I may spread my wings.”
