The Missouri River Historical Development (MRHD) awarded $600,000 in grants to 33 Siouxland organizations on May 23. IMOM received a $25,000 grant as part of this program through a partnership with the Sioux City Dental Society.

"One of these local organizations is the Sioux City Dental Society’s collaboration with the Iowa Mission of Mercy. These organizations plan to provide a free, large-scale, two-day community dental clinic to more than 1,000 patients. The project’s funding will help with supplies and facilities needed while licensed dental professionals and community volunteers provide free oral health care to individuals facing barriers to receiving dental care, according to MRHD," stated Kathryn Vlaanderen in a KTIV article.

IMOM is on October 4-5 at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City. The Iowa Dental Foundation appreciates the generosity of the MRHD and support for IMOM within the Siouxland Community.
