Giving Back
At Neal Family Dentistry, our commitment to care extends beyond the dental chair and into the heart of the Kalamazoo community. We’re proud to support local organizations through charitable contributions, hands-on volunteering, and ongoing philanthropic efforts. Whether it’s donating supplies, participating in community health initiatives, or lending our time to causes that uplift our neighbors, we believe that compassionate care starts with showing up—for our patients and for our community.
Free Little Pantry
According to Feeding America's "Map the Meal Gap" most recent data(2023) almost 15% of Kalamazoo County is food insecure. The Free Little Pantry (FLP) at Neal Family Dentistry is a small but meaningful way we support our community.
Available in our waiting area, and stocked with non-perishable items, our FLP it’s open to anyone facing food insecurity—no questions asked.
Patients are warmly invited to take what they need* and, if able, leave what they can**. It’s one more way we strive to care for the whole person, not just their smile.
​
*if you're seeking support from our office FLP but aren't comfortable taking directly, please let any of our team members know. While food insecurity is a symptom of bigger systemic issues, we acknowledge that some social stigma can exist. We'll pull what we can for you from our pantry discretely.
