Professional accreditation of Lanier Tech’s Dental Assisting Program requires that each DA student volunteer in their community.
The Dental Assisting Instructors allow the student choose their own service. This year, as a class, the DA students chose to go to the Operation Christmas Child Processing Center and to help fill “Christmas shoeboxes” with small toys, hygiene items, and school suppliesfor children overseas who are affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease. In addition, boxed items go to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.
The Atlanta processing center's goal this year is 1.6 million shoeboxes of gifts.
