The holidays are a joyous occasion in which we enjoy one another and give gifts to our families and friends. However, holidays can be difficult for some, as many are unable to spend the holiday in the comfort of their own homes or with their loved ones. As a Birmingham children’s dentist, we are always looking for ways in which we can give back to our community, and we believe that one way we can do so is by helping those who are facing tough times during the holidays. We are thrilled to announce that we will be helping collect donations for the Sugar Plum Shop, a wonderful program for children who are in Children’s Hospital of Alabama during the holidays.
Sugar Plum Shop
The Sugar Plum Shop is the Children’s Hospital of Alabama’s program set up for patients throughout Alabama and their families that are spending the Holidays in the hospital. The holidays are a difficult time if you are in the hospital throughout their duration, and the Sugar Plum Shop tries to brighten the holidays up by providing an in-hospital toy store that parents of the patients can shop at, free of charge. Here, they can pick out gifts for the patient child and the patient’s siblings. This incredible organization has served as a source of delight and distraction for hundreds of patients and parents of patients.
How To Donate
We at Medplex Pediatric Dentistry strongly support Sugar Plum Shop’s mission and will be dropping off donations directly to them on Wednesday December 16th. If you would like to add to this hopefully large donation, please drop any and all donations to our Birmingham pediatric dentist office during regular business hours. Our hours are as follows:
