In the 1970’s, the Beacon Bowling Alley was a bustling social space along Lincoln Way West. In 2013, it has been renovated to uniquely meet the needs of the local community. The Beacon is a venue where local residents, organizations, and schools can use their strengths to help others for the benefit of the greater west side community. They invite the community to use space at The Beacon to expand their own programs. This model of shared, multipurpose space encourages new partnerships, increases community access to resources, and helps to transform lives on the west side of South Bend. North Point Pediatric Dentistry is a proponent and supporter of the Beacon and its effort to reinvigorate the surrounding community which included two elementary schools.

In order to promote good dental health, we traditionally buy Halloween candy from the area trick-or-treaters. We will pay kids $2.00/pound of candy that they bring us. In addition, for every pound we buy, North Point Pediatric Dentistry will match that $2.00/pound and make a donation to the Northern Indiana Food Bank. If you would like to learn more about how the Food Bank helps families in our community, please go to http://feedindiana.org

We truly recognize that many in this world do not enjoy the standard of living as we do in the United States. International outreach is consistent with the core values of our office. Six years ago, we were introduced to G.O. Ministries and their service Hub in the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic and Haiti are located on the second largest island in the Caribbean. The mission of G.O. Ministries is to support pastors and Christian workers in the Dominican Republic. They facilitate churches, medical clinics, dormitories for teams, sports outreach, ongoing training, nutrition centers and Christian schools.

Dr. Fishbaugh and his family have been on multiple medical and service missions to this area. His participation is sponsored in part by North Point Pediatric Dentistry. Our office will continue to work with G.O. Ministries and are hopeful to give members of our team the opportunity to participate in mission work in the coming years. For more information on G.O. Ministries, please visit their website at http://www.go-ministries.org.
