"Share the Care" Nominee Spotlight: First Baptist Church in Lawton

First Baptist Church is a congregation that puts great emphasis on community outreach. They host various events throughout the year, but their biggest event is "Mission Lawton," held every June. MobileSmiles had the opportunity to provide services during this event last year and we were so surprised by the magnitude of the event!

While many local dentists provided dental treatment, the church also offered clothes, haircuts, car washes and a food pantry to the community free of charge. Last June was our largest day of patients treated with our program - 37 patients seen in ONE day! If First Baptist wins this contest, they would use the funds for the same event this year.

Read what a nominator had to say about them:

How do you think dental services would help this population?

"It will help out ministry fair reach out to our surrounding neighborhoods by providing much needed dental care."

Why do you think they should win this contest?

"The event will probably set a record for number of patients treated in the shortest number of hours!"
