Join Our Feed a Family, Win a Smile Food Drive

September 30, 2026

Vacca Family Dentistry is pleased to join the Chesterfield Food Bank in helping ease hunger in our community. According to a newly released study, 45% of Central Virginia households are experiencing food insecurity. Food donations provide essential support for individuals and families who work hard but still struggle to put food on the table.


With your help, our goal is to collect 500+ food items for Chesterfield Food Bank.


In an effort to show our appreciation for helping us reach this goal, we’ll be giving away an Ultimate Smile and Self-Care Basket, including an electric toothbrush, whitening kit and other special thank you gifts.

  • For every 5 non-perishable food items, receive an entry! Maximum 5 entries per person.
  • Bring in a new, unopened toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, or other dental care item and receive one BONUS entry!
  • Help spread the word! Pick up a few Food Drive flyers at our office to share with friends, family and co-workers. Each flyer includes suggested items most in need.


Thank you for helping our community. Together, we can help ease hunger and spread a few smiles along the way!

  • Soups, Stews
  • Canned Beans
  • Canned Veggies
  • Canned Fruit
  • Peanut Butter
