I’m talking with my new friend, Ennis Pepper, who is doing incredible work with the Agape Dental Ministry.

Ennis explains why this nonprofit is so vital: it is the only standalone dental charity operating in Mecklenburg County. They provide comprehensive dental services to people who need care but cannot afford it or do not have insurance—all at no cost to the patient.

In this powerful conversation, we discuss:

• The huge impact a simple smile can have, especially when people are seeking employment or need better confidence.

• How Agape Dental Ministry is flexible with qualification requirements to ensure people who truly need the help receive it.

• The urgent need for volunteer dentists (especially retired professionals!) to help them fulfill their mission.

• How you can get involved by calling the executive administrator, Becky Faircloth.

Jump into the chat and thank Ennis for supporting such important work!
