In episode #71 of MissionCast Nancy Burks tells about the development of a dental clinic that serves children from low income families. The clinic is located in the town of Anderson, in McDonald County and serves a five county area. The Office of Creative Ministries received a call from Nancy back in 2001 asking if the United Methodist Church could help meet the dental needs of children from low income families in their undeserved area of the state. Max Marble (Office of Creative Ministries, Director), Peggy Eshelman (Social Justice & Spiritual FormationTeam), Lin Stern (Office of Creative Ministries, Missionary), Mary Allgood (Pineville United Methodist Church),Nancy Burks (Local Food Pantry Director) and a number of concerned McDonald county citizens started something from scratch that has turned out to be a great mission success story. The clinic currently provides dental care for children who would be otherwise completely without such care. The clinic always welcomes volunteer dentists and can always use donations.
