MDS Foundation Mission of Mercy
Save the Date!
The MDS Foundation is pleased to announce that we’re sponsoring a Mission of Mercy (MOM) no-cost dental clinic for adults:
Saturday, November 15, 2025
DCU Center, Worcester, Massachusetts
In fulfilling the Foundation’s mission of increasing access to care, the clinic will provide complimentary dental care to the uninsured, underinsured, and anyone who cannot access care. However, we need your help in two ways—by donating and volunteering.
Give a Donation
We are still collecting donations for the upcoming MDS Mission of Mercy (MOM) and other Foundation initiatives. If you haven’t already done so, please donate now!
Challenge accepted and accomplished!
The Massachusetts Dental Society Foundation’s Martin’s Mission Challenge was a huge success! The challenge raised over $80,000 in donations for the Mission of Mercy and other initiatives. Thank you to all who generously donated and to Dr. Raymond Martin and Dr. David Lustbader for combining to donate $30,000 in matching gifts.
