Crescent Food Bank is proud to celebrate a significant milestone in our journey to reach more families in need: the launch of our first-ever external food donation point, hosted by the incredible team at Dream Smiles Dental, located at 2 Thomas Holden Street, Bolton.
As a community-focused dental clinic, Dream Smiles Dental has consistently shown a genuine commitment to local wellbeing — not just through oral health, but by actively stepping forward to support families experiencing food insecurity. Following their support with our Eid toy appeal and Ramadan food drive, the team wanted to take their involvement even further.
A New Way to Give Back
The donation point, now open Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 5:30pm, allows patients, staff, and members of the public to contribute non-perishable food and essential items directly to Crescent Food Bank. The process is simple and accessible, just drop your items into the secure container during clinic hours. Every donation helps feed families in Bolton who are struggling to afford basic groceries.
Why This Matters
With rising living costs and increasing demand for our services, making donation opportunities more accessible is vital. Having a permanent donation point in a visible, trusted location like Dream Smiles Dental brings several key benefits:
- ✅ Encourages regular giving in a convenient, everyday setting
- ✅ Engages new donors who may not otherwise visit the food bank
- ✅ Expands our reach into more areas of Bolton
- ✅ Fosters long-term relationships between local businesses and community action
A Model for Future Growth
We hope this initiative will inspire other local businesses to follow suit and set up their own donation points. By partnering with community hubs, we can build a network of support across Bolton that ensures no one is left behind.
We extend our sincere thanks to the entire Dream Smiles team for leading the way. Your kindness and leadership are helping to create a stronger and more caring Bolton.
