Share a Smile; Hope for Rhode Island, a Gift Card for You

0
Thank you to Delta Dental of Rhode Island for offering Rhode islanders a chance to Share A Smile and spread hope while supporting local businesses, and for allowing us to partner with you in that.

It’s been one month since Rhode Islanders were issued a Stay-At-Home order, and since then, we’ve been inundated with constant news and updates. We’ve spent days adjusting to a new normal, only to have that normal change. We’ve watched more Press Conferences in the past 6 weeks than possibly our entire lives, and we’re tired. We have much more downtime lately, but the mental energy of keeping up with the latest is taxing, not to mention being primary caregivers AND primary educators. We can come up with multipage lists of what we don’t like about this global health crisis.

Our leaders have kept us up-to-date and informed regarding all things coronavirus and the state of our state. They’ve handed down rules and regulations and guided us into new normals. They’ve done their best to keep us safe, and we’re grateful for that. The shortlist of things we DO like about this new normal we find ourselves in, however, has nothing to do with news, updates, or the slew on constant information from all directions.

No, the list of things we like in this new normal is short indeed: community.

The increase in community in Rhode Island has been remarkable, and in between the news updates and new mandates have been heartwarming stories of neighbors helping neighbors, teachers adapting and doing their absolute best in a tricky situation, and local businesses rising up and supporting their communities. Rhode Islanders have been supporting each other like never before.

Delta Dental of Rhode Island is continuing in that effort- bringing hope to RI. With a bit of sidewalk chalk, and proper social distancing, they’re gathering messages of love and hope from all over Rhode Island to share. In addition to helping Rhode Islanders Share A Smile and spread hope, Delta Dental of Rhode Island is providing much-needed support to our local restaurants, and they’re looking to partner with us all to make it happen.

Delta Dental of Rhode Island is inviting us all to Share A Smile and help spread hope to our great state. Bring some chalk with you on your next (socially distant and safe, of course) walk, and share a message at your favorite spot along your walk, or in your neighborhood. When you post the photo on Facebook (be sure to make it public!), and tag @DeltaDentalRI AND your favorite local restaurant, you’ll be entered to win a $50 gift card to a restaurant of your choosing.

Delta Dental of Rhode Island will choose 20 winners a week for the next 6 weeks, so there’s plenty of chances to Share A Smile and win!

To learn more about when winners will be chosen, and to see pictures from across the state, visit the Delta Dental of Rhode Island Share A Smile website or check out their Facebook page.

Our Team and their kiddos have been joining the fun, and we can’t wait to see yours!
