Gold for Food 2011 Started by Dr. Bonine in 1995, Gold for Food encourages patients to donate old gold crowns and other fixtures, which are then cashed in to fund meals for the poor. The 2011 donation of $17,188.45 was matched by Prentice Restaurant Group and Walmart, for a total of $34,000 donated to Gleaners Food Bank. Through the efforts of Dr. Bonine and other local dentists, the program has generated $109,555 to date, which amounts to 328,665 meals!
