The Alliance of Lancaster County Dental Society
The Alliance of Lancaster County Dental Society was very active again this year . Assisted by the local Boy Scouts of Troop 84 , the alliance gathered on February 4 to help pack dental health kits for distribution to the needy throughout Lancaster County .
The Alliance members provided the materials for the kits , which were assembled at St . Peter ' s Evangelical Lutheran Church , the home base of Troop 84 . The Scouts and Alliance members stuffed toothpaste , toothbrushes , floss and mouthwash into individual packs for over 1,700 recipients . Alliance members delivered the kits to shelters and organizations throughout Lancaster County .
