This past month, Downtown Dental teamed with Dr. Damon Barbieri of Barbieri Orthodontics and approximately 20 other businesses in a joint effort to provide food for our Middle Tennessee community through Second Harvest Food Bank.
Giving Back this Holiday Season with Second Harvest
According to Second Harvest, there are 103,000 people in Davidson County who classify as food insecure*. While this number can seem overwhelming at first, organizations like Second Harvest are working hard to decrease the number of families who suffer from food insecurity every year.
After learning the impact that Second Harvest is making in our community, we jumped on board to help!
How you helped:

Thank you x 1,074!
Our staff was literally tripping over food items in the office. We were overwhelmed by the compassion you showed for our local community and we are so grateful for everyone who helped collect food for those in need. We’re truly inspired by your generosity.
Because of you, families and individuals will be taken care of this season.
We appreciate all of the kindness shown this year! If you’d like to learn more about Second Harvest and how you can help, visit http://secondharvestmidtn.org/.
There are dozens charitable organizations in the Nashville area you can help to give a “hand up” to those in need. We plan to continue our philanthropic efforts throughout the year and hope you all join us again for our future campaigns!
