How Many Smiles We’ve Started
0
Every Smile Starter Kit represents more than just a toothbrush — it’s a moment of care, confidence, and connection. Thanks to the generosity of our community partners and donors, Brush Buddies has created 850 Smile Starter Kits for children in need. Each kit helps promote healthy habits and bright futures, reminding every child that their smile matters.
We’re on a mission to make 10,000 Smile Starter Kits — and every single one counts. Your support helps us put toothbrushes, toothpaste, and confidence into the hands of kids who need it most. Help us cross the finish line to 10,000 smiles!
Our Mission
We’re a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged individuals in Manatee and Sarasota County by providing essential dental hygiene supplies. Through our Brush Buddies donation bags (filled with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and more) we aim to encourage healthier daily habits and brighter smiles.
With the help of community partners and the generosity of donors, we’re working toward our vision of healthier smiles for all.
Our Initiatives
Creating Better Access
Access to Dental Care
Community Support
We partner with dental offices in Sarasota and Manatee County to receive donations of essential dental care items, helping to make oral health resources more accessible for our community.
Volunteer Support
Community Involvement
Volunteers are at the heart of Brush Buddies. Whether it’s organizing donation drives, assisting at events, or helping distribute supplies, our volunteers play a vital role in expanding our reach. Their time and dedication allow us to support more families and spread the message that everyone deserves a healthy smile.
Smile Support Donations
Giving Back
Donations are the foundation of our impact. Physical items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss go directly into the hands of families, while monetary contributions help us extend our programs and grow our partnerships. Every gift, big or small, helps us move closer to our goal of supporting 10,000 families in Sarasota and Manatee County.
