Delta Dental of Missouri, the state’s leader in dental benefits, today announced it is donating $500,000 to organizations providing COVID-19 relief efforts in Missouri and in South Carolina where the company does business as Delta Dental of South Carolina. The donation is driven by Delta Dental’s ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of people in the communities it serves.
A total of 11 organizations will benefit from the $500,000 donation, which is being allocated as follows.
In Missouri, Community Foundation of the Ozarks will receive $40,000 and Ozarks Food Harvest in Springfield will receive $5,000.
“We have chosen these organizations because of their dedication to mobilizing their teams and marshalling their resources to address the current health crisis,” said Rob Goren, president and chief executive officer at Delta Dental of Missouri. “These organizations will be using any funds they receive to immediately benefit communities we serve at Delta Dental. We are also supporting local food banks to help them meet the dramatically increased demand from those impacted by the Coronavirus.”
