USA - Hundreds stand in rain for Mission of Mercy dental clinic tickets
Hundreds of people in need of dental care braved the wet weather in Roanoke on Saturday morning, to get a free ticket to next Friday's Mission of Mercy dental clinic.
The Virginia Dental Associated passed out about 900 tickets for the clinic, which will be held at the Roanoke Civic Center on March 30th. Most of the tickets were given away in the first 20 minutes they were available. The hand out took place in the parking lot of the Advance Auto Parts building at Crossroads Mall.
"I think it's just indicative of the times we're in. People don't have access to dental care, don't have access to dental insurance, or simply can't afford their co-pay," said Alison Jorgensen, with Mission of Mercy.
