Donate a Smile: 
Donors like you make all the difference

With the generous support of our donors and volunteers, we have increased awareness of our programs and raised $115,526 our $200,000 goal! We offer our sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Donate a Smile campaign. Every gift of every size is important.

This campaign will provide the clinic with the funds and needs to continue to serve patients with compassion and provide hope for the future.

Dr. Hugh Campbell
 
It is with great sadness we share the passing of long-time volunteer, Dr. Hugh Campbell. 

Dr. Campbell was instrumental in starting the Optical Program at HFHC in 2006. He has impacted numerous lives with his commitment to service and was the hands and feet to many.

Our community has lost a dedicated servant of God and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
Program of the Month: 
Pamper and Prayer Foot Clinic
 
Foot care is a neglected medical service, especially for the underserved members of our community. The Pamper and Prayer Foot Clinic takes place on the second Thursday of each month and is designed to care for the physical need of foot care as well as the spiritual need of prayer. 

Each session includes a warm foot bath, foot massage,  nail, and callus care. Call (616) 392-3610 to make an appointment.  

Because of our generous volunteers and your financial support, we are able to provide this free service. 
What can your donation  do for our Pamper and Prayer program?

$50 provides 6 pairs of Diabetes and Circulatory socks.
$100 buys 3 pairs of supportive shoes.
$500 funds 30 Foot Clinic appointments
$1000 will allow 25 patients to receive follow up care with a volunteer podiatrist.

Giving Tuesday: Save the Date
