IMOM will be held on October 4-5 at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City and we are excited to be back in the Siouxland area! IMOM 2024 marks the 15th anniversary of our free annual dental clinic and we are working hard to ensure that it will be the best IMOM yet! IMOM has been transforming lives and helping patients since 2008, and we’ve provided over 17,700 patients with free dental care totaling over $12.5 million! 

The IMOM Local Planning Committee is already working hard behind the scenes by building support among local donors and sponsors in the Sioux City area. This year IMOM was selected by 100+ Men & Women Who Care: Siouxland Chapter, which is a group that meets quarterly to select a nonprofit organization to support, and then each member of the group makes a donation of $100 to the selected nonprofit. In total, 100+ Men & Women Who Care: Siouxland Chapter donated $12,000 to IMOM 2024 and presented the Iowa Dental Foundation with a check during their meeting on May 20 (pictured below).

Volunteer registration is open and we need your help in recruiting volunteers.
