Our
Story
After several years of participating in international dental mission trips to Guatemala City, Guatemala, the founders of The Vine & Branch Foundation, Inc., decided to "go all in" on providing dental care and education to underserved and underprivileged patients. Thus, at the end of 2022, our non-profit organization was born.
​
Our name comes from the Bible verse found in John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me, you can do nothing".
​
By operating our own charity and partnering with organizations, we have been able to expand the reach of our foundation from Guatemala to Honduras to the Dominican Republic and even to our hometown of Atlanta, Georgia
