Explanation
(This amendment provides $100,000 from the general fund each year to continue Missions of Mercy (MOM) projects in four areas of the state. MOM is a six-year, nationally recognized dental outreach program which has provided over 5.7 million dollars in free dental care in underserved areas of Virginia. Over 14,000 patients have been seen and MOM expects to see 4,500 patients in 2006 and provide over 2 million in free dental care to those in need. Each dollar received translates into $20 in free dental care. This appropriation will augment the volunteer, contribution-based budget of MOM.)
