Beyond the Op: Get Involved

Katilyn Oxley:
Hi everyone!

I am currently serving as the Component Director for the Southern Component and I'm planning a Free Dental Hygiene Day for the community on February 14, 2026.

We are currently seeking donations of dental hygiene supplies as well as volunteers to help make this event possible. Any monetary donations collected on the day of the event will be used to support the Southern Component.
The event will be held at Hart Dental Hygiene - Belmont
If you are interested in donating supplies, volunteering, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at  @codha.org or by phone at (765) 213-9335.
If you are able, please fill out the Google Form.

Did you know that there are many volunteer positions that are available with CODHA?
