Crofton Cares: Community & Charity Work
We believe that a healthy smile starts with a strong, caring community. Crofton Dental Center is proud to lead and support annual initiatives that improve the lives of our neighbors, both human and animal.
Zoey’s Legacy
Annual SPCA Drive
Supporting the Anne Arundel County SPCA
Crofton Dental Center proudly supports the **Anne Arundel County SPCA** through our annual community donation drive in memory of our beloved mascot, Zoey.
Each spring, our office becomes a donation hub for local pets in need. Patients and neighbors can drop off pet supplies, blankets, toys, and food. Dr. Sood and the team match every donation item to double the impact, helping local shelter animals find comfort and loving families.
Recommended Items for Zoey's Legacy:
Unopened pet food, clean blankets, pet toys, stainless steel bowls, crates, and direct shelter donations.
Crofton Food Bank Partnership
Every autumn, Crofton Dental Center partners with the **Crofton Food Bank** to compile essential grocery goods for local families.
Patients visiting our office for routine appointments are invited to bring non-perishable food items. We coordinate directly with local food pantries to distribute items before the holiday season. Together, we work to make sure no family goes hungry during the holidays.
Recommended Items for Food Drive:
Canned vegetables, canned proteins (tuna, chicken), peanut butter, dry pasta, whole grain rice, and boxed cereals.
