Chiro One food drive yields 23,500 lbs.
Thanks to the generous food donations of Chiro One Wellness Centers' patients and staff at their 66 Chicagoland, Kentucky and Texas locations, thousands of families in need will be able to enjoy a wholesome and nutritious meal during the holiday season.
As part of its sixth annual ‘Share the Abundance' Food Drive initiative, Chiro One Wellness Centers recently collected over 23,000 pounds of nonperishable food items to help feed the hungry. 23,500 lbs. of food was recently donated to Feeding Illinois in Chicago, Hillcrest-Bruce Mission and Lighthouse Ministries in Kentucky and Feeding America in Texas.
“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give,” states Brett Penager, Chiro One Wellness Centers' Chief Marketing Officer, quoting Sir Winston Churchill. "It's part of Chiro One Wellness Centers' mission to serve our communities. We're honored to join the fight against hunger and encouraged that because of our efforts, someone will eat today. Our heartfelt thanks go to all our patients and staff for supporting this worthy cause.”
“These are tough times,” says Kate Maehr, Executive Director and CEO of the Greater Chicago Food Depository. “Many of our neighbors are stretched to the limit as they deal with layoffs, dropping wages, and increasing heating and food costs. These economic conditions have left 845,910 men, women and children in Cook County food insecure and the need is great this year. Our heartfelt thanks goes to Chiro One Wellness Centers for their continued support that helps us help them.”
