Zahn Dental Announces $150,000 Commitment to Feeding America

By: via Business Wire

Funds Raised Will Help Enhance Access to Nutrition for Communities Facing Food Insecurity, with a Focus on Senior Citizens

Zahn Dental, the U.S. dental laboratory business of Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), today announced a commitment of $150,000 to Feeding America®, the largest hunger relief organization in the United States. Zahn’s support will help Feeding America continue to ensure communities facing food insecurity have access to nutrition so they can enjoy healthier lives.

Recognizing senior citizens may have chronic conditions that put them at risk for malnutrition, Zahn’s support will specifically help food banks serve seniors. In addition to Zahn’s contribution, its supplier partners – 3Shape, DESS, Dentsply Sirona, Desktop Health, Keystone Industries, Kulzer, Myerson, Roland DG, and Sierra Dental – have contributed to further advance Feeding America’s hunger relief activities. For suppliers, dental laboratory technicians, practitioners, and communities at large, who would like to make a donation to Feeding America, click here. For every dollar raised, the Henry Schein Cares Foundation will match up to $10,000.

“Thank you, Feeding America, for giving us an opportunity to align our purpose-driven mission of ‘helping health happen’ with yours, and supporting the needs of society,” said Rita Acquafredda, President, Global Laboratory Business, Zahn Dental. “In addition to helping improve access to nutrition among seniors, we are committed to helping this vulnerable population understand the link between good oral health and overall health. We are grateful to our supplier partners for their continued partnership, and look forward to working with the dental community to help give seniors a smile with enhanced access to oral health care.”

According to Feeding America, more than 38 million people, including 12 million children and more than five million seniors, face food insecurity. Due to the pandemic, the number of people at risk of hunger has increased, leaving more people challenged to put food on the table. In addition, more seniors are suffering from chewing and nutritional deficiencies due to lack of access to routine dental care.

“Feeding America is grateful to Zahn for harnessing its network to help raise critical funds and supporting the fight to end hunger,” said Lauren Biedron, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “With Zahn’s support, we can continue to help make a meaningful impact for underserved communities across the country, and more specifically, help seniors who often suffer from dental issues, impairing their ability to eat, and hindering their ability to meet nutritional needs.”

In addition to supporting Feeding America and helping seniors maintain proper nutrition, Zahn plans to continue the Company’s commitment to enhance access to oral health by identifying communities where seniors are most in need of oral health, and collaborating with the dental industry to provide dentures. In response to the White House's call to action to help vulnerable Holocaust survivors age with dignity and support, Henry Schein launched The Alpha Omega-Henry Schein Cares Holocaust Survivors Oral Health Program in 2014. Since then, the program has served more than 1,600 Holocaust survivors and provided donated care valued at $4.2 million. By increasing Holocaust survivors' access to oral care, the program seeks to significantly enhance their overall quality of life.
