"All of us at Monarch Dental have strong connections to the communities we serve," notes Dr. Richard Smith. "We believe that no one should be left hungry any time of the year, and we're proud to stand together with Project HOPE Food Bank to gather much-needed food for our neighbors in need."

Last year, the Monarch Dental office in Fort Smith hosted a food drive that resulted in 8,000 pounds of food donations. The Fort Smith office has challenged Hot Springs and several other offices across the state to beat this number this year.

"Thanks to the generous donations from great local partners like Monarch Dental, we're continuing the fight against hunger in Hot Springs, getting nutritious food into the hands of those who don't have enough to eat," said Executive Director Ted Thompson from Project HOPE Food Bank.
