This October, the LumaDent team partners with the Reno Gleaning Project, gathering fresh fruit from local orchards to enhance food security and community well-being in Northern Nevada. Known for its commitment to harvesting surplus produce and distributing it to local charities, the Reno Gleaning Project substantially impacts by providing fresh, nutritious fruit to those in need.

A Community-Driven Mission

For LumaDent, volunteering aligns with a broader mission of supporting health and wellness beyond clinical spaces. LumaDent’s Operations Manager, Samuel Shick, highlights the team’s commitment to giving back to the community that has supported them since their early days. “Reno has been foundational to us, helping us grow into leaders in clinical ergonomics. Now, we’re excited to give back,” Shick shares. “We’ve spent years helping clinicians work more comfortably, and now we’re proud to support our neighbors by promoting health through nutritious, locally sourced food.”

Connecting and Contributing

The event offers LumaDent employees the chance to bond as a team and connect directly with the Reno community, helping to ensure more families have access to essential, nutrient-rich foods. Every box of apples and other fruits collected by the Reno Gleaning Project represents not just a meal but a gesture of support for the health of the entire community—a mission that resonates deeply with LumaDent’s values.

Beyond Clinical Support

Focused on well-being, LumaDent continually seeks ways to impact public health outside of dentistry. The Reno Gleaning Project provides a fulfilling opportunity to extend this impact beyond the clinic. Working together with local volunteers and non-profits, the project underscores the importance of sustainable food systems, reducing waste, and ensuring food reaches those who need it most.

Reaffirming a Commitment to Health and Care

For LumaDent, this partnership represents more than an act of service. It is a testament to their dedication to fostering a healthier community that mirrors their commitment to care, compassion, and well-being. As LumaDent pushes boundaries in ergonomic solutions for dentistry, they remain equally committed to building a healthier world beyond the clinic.
