VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Currently, there are 900 volunteers signed up for the Minnesota Mission of Mercy (MnMOM). We still need to fill many positions and are looking for dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants willing to donate their time on Friday, September 7 and/or Saturday, September 8. For a successful event we need more than 1,200 volunteers so if you were planning to volunteer, please register today ! We plan to provide over $1 million dollars of charitable dental care. Our goal is to serve approximately 2,000 patients and YOUR presence will bring us one step closer to that goal! Invite your family and friends to lend a helping hand - volunteers are the heart of MnMOM. There are jobs for dental professionals and non-dental personnel. We only ask that volunteers be 18 years of age or older and that they are willing to smile and have fun! Watch our Volunteer Orientation Video and check out the MnMOM Flyer and MnMOM Key Facts for further information.   
DAILY SCHEDULE & PROTOCOLS
Prior to MnMOM, volunteers should review the daily schedule, which provides a general summary of what to expect each day, and what to bring. Watch your email for your specific schedule. Please also review your department's protocols.  
PARKING INFORMATION & VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN AREA
The Minneapolis Convention Center is located at 1301 2nd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55406. We are asking each volunteer to complete this form with their parking needs (if you are carpooling with someone else, we ask that only one form is submitted per car). If you are planning on parking at a hotel, please do not complete the form. We will communicate with you directly as we near the event.   
CANCELLATIONS
Be sure to put MnMOM on your calendar. We are counting on you to be there to help us provide the dental care our patients so desperately need. If your plans change and you need to cancel, please contact Vicki Capistrant via email at mnmom@mndental.org. 
MINI LICENSE NO LONGER REQUIRED
Minnesota dental professionals will no longer need to buy a mini license from the Board of Dentistry for the Minnesota Mission of Mercy. The Board of Dentistry will now allow dental professionals to use their biennial renewal certificate. The renewal certificate is the small license (3.5" x 4.5") you received at the time you renewed your license.
  
MnMOM will require all dental professionals treating patients to display their renewal certificate or guest license. Volunteer registration will provide a badge holder to display your license. 
  
If you don't' have a Minnesota license and need a guest license, check out the Non-Minnesota and Volunteer/Guest License Application section of our website. You can download the Non-Minnesota and Volunteer/Guest License Application here.  
CASH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS
If you'd like to be a part of MnMOM but are unable to commit to volunteering, please consider an in-kind or tax-deductible financial contribution. Over $250,000 cash and in-kind donations are needed to help cover necessary dental equipment and supplies, pharmaceuticals, and food costs for the three-day event. To find out more information or to donate, please visit our website. We are sincerely grateful for all of our generous donors - thank you!
