Over 120 had free eye exams and will receive free glasses. Other services rendered included physical therapy, foot care, massage, haircuts, and medical screenings.
Preliminary estimates are that over 100 volunteers helped 71 dental patients with root canals, fillings, extractions and cleanings. 121 received eye exams and 118 will receive eye glasses. Around 80 received Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy. 19 had their feet cared for. Over 40 had medical screenings and nutrition counseling. Around 70 haircuts were given.
