Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away which means it is time for our annual Smilesgiving! The Skelton Orthodontics team loves to spread smiles for miles and miles. One way we do that through the holiday season is by hosting a food drive to support local food pantries here in Fort Payne, AL. We are now accepting donations for our Smilesgiving food drive through November 17th! We would love to help stock the shelves at local food pantries this holiday season. Join us in supporting the Fort Payne community by grabbing a few extra items next time you are at the grocery store and helping fill our donation box in the office lobby.
