The Lucy Corr Foundation

In 2018, the LCFDC provided a record breaking $301,742 in free dental services to Lucy Corr residents and community members who are uninsured and who are unable to afford oral health services which are a key component to overall health, especially for the elderly. Managed by dental clinic coordinator, Dr. Patricia Brown Bonwell, the clinic depends on 17 volunteer dentists, students from VCU Dental School and other local training programs and schools. Financial support from local foundations and individuals make it all possible. Since its renovation in 2012, the LCFDC has provided $1.366 million in free services.

In 2017, the Foundation received a grant from the Atria Companies Employee Community Fund (ACECF) to purchase a conversion van, enabling residents to be transported to medical appointments while in their own wheelchair.

A $30,000 challenge matching grant from the Mary Morton Parson’s Foundation was met in December 2018, which funded a 20-passenger bus to transport residents to off-site opportunities for entertainment and enrichment. The match was accomplished by donations from Foundation Board members, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, Lucy Corr residents, area businesses, and a local church. The sweetest gift was a $10 contribution given by a ten-year-old out of his hard-earned allowance.
