Taylor Dental sponsored PCS Outreach Ministries' back-to-school event, which helped 1,033 local families make sure their children had what they needed before the first day of school. Members of the Taylor Dental team joined volunteers and other local organizations on site for the distribution, handing out school supplies and meeting families from across the Pensacola area. The practice has partnered with PCS Outreach Ministries on the back-to-school effort for several years.
This sponsorship matters because it addresses a critical need for families facing financial hardship, ensuring that children start the school year with the necessary tools to succeed. The event's reach—serving over a thousand families—highlights the significant impact that local businesses can have when they collaborate with community organizations. By providing school supplies, Taylor Dental helps reduce the burden on parents and supports educational readiness, which can have long-term benefits for children's academic performance and self-esteem.
"Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with PCS Outreach Ministries through Taylor Dental to help provide back-to-school supplies for local families in need," said Dr. Codie Garner-LeBlanc, DDS. "This is an event that means a great deal to our team, and we are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community. We look forward to supporting this wonderful ministry for many years to come."
The back-to-school drive is one of several community efforts the practice supports in Escambia County. Taylor Dental also participates in Dentistry from the Heart, a non-profit day of free dental care staffed by local dentists, hygienists, assistants and front office volunteers; supports the Pensacola Humane Society through donations and events such as Barktober Fest and Paws on Palafox; and supplies Sacred Heart’s bereavement team with impression material at no cost. These initiatives demonstrate a consistent commitment to improving the quality of life in the region, extending beyond dental care to address broader social and health needs.
