A Symbol of Stability and Hope in the Community
“You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world.”
Salt has long been used as a preservative for food, and it was also used as currency many years ago. In fact, the word “salary” originates from when salt was used as a soldier’s pay. African merchants often paid with the mineral, trading it ounce for ounce for gold. As a symbol, salt represents security and steadfastness; “salt of the earth” describes someone who is reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. Light is hope. Light banishes the dark. Light gives life. Light in the form of a candle can brighten an entire room. The original flame doesn’t dim from being shared. It’s from this rich, symbolic history that we draw the name for our free dental care initiative, Salt & Light. These are qualities we hope to embody in our free clinic. We plan to assist an entire community, not just one or two people.
Free dental care will allow relief for those suffering from dental pain. It will provide hope and stability to those who feel like these things no longer exist for them. If someone has a dental care need, we will have an answer. Salt & Light is our deeper reason for existing. Salt & Light will be home to interactions based on care and compassion for our fellow people. Generosity is the best antidote for selfishness, and we can think of no better use for our resources and energy than a free dental care program made possible by the Nagy Family Foundation. The symbols of salt and light represent the reliable and hopeful source of care that our initiative brings to the community. We look forward to being a beacon of hope and stability for years to come.
