It was just a few weeks from now Grand Island would hold one of the biggest volunteer efforts the city has still seen. More than 1,000 people are predictable to assist out with The Nebraska Mission of Mercy, an event designed to offer free dental care for those in those in need.
Even though preparations are well happening, organizers are still looking to the society for more help.
At the state's first ever Mission of Mercy last year in North Platte, about 1000 patients established free dental care.
"It is a huge undertaking. It is like setting up a little village for a couple of days or a big camp I guess," said event organizer Teresa Anderson.
This year's Mission of Mercy would be September 22nd and 23rd at GI's Heartland Events Center, where they are hoping to see twice as many patients as last year.
