Making a difference through SmileKits and community drop-offs
SmileKits are care packages designed to restore dignity and promote oral health among underserved populations. Each kit contains essential dental hygiene products that support daily care and long-term wellness.
Kits may vary slightly depending on inventory and donations.
Access to oral care is one of the most overlooked needs in shelters and transitional housing.
Regular brushing and flossing prevent infections, pain, and long-term dental complications.
Many people avoid smiling, speaking, or applying for jobs due to poor oral health. This changes that.
Drop-Offs are the direct outreach arm of SmileCare Network. Once SmileKits are assembled, our volunteers deliver them to local shelters, community centers, transitional housing units, and other partner organizations across Calgary and surrounding areas.
We are continually expanding our network of recipient sites to meet growing needs across the city.
We aim to deliver SmileKits at least once every two months, often aligning with community events or seasons of high demand.
We also conduct urgent or seasonal drop-offs based on surplus inventory or special donor campaigns.
