Health Center Holds School Supply, Canned Food Drive

JANUARY 3, 2003 - The Chiropractic Health Center collected school supplies and canned foods for needy families and local charities in two drives this fall.

Patients, students, faculty and staff contributed generously to the school supply drive, which was the college’s first. Patients received either a discounted or complimentary visit in exchange for bringing supplies.

College friends also contributed more than 3,000 cans of food during the annual food drive. Interns in the health center encouraged their patients to participate, and patients who donated six cans or more were treated to a complimentary visit. Cans were donated to The United Way, The Salvation Army, Miracle Life Missions and the Safe Homes/Rape Crisis Center.

“The generosity of our patients and college community has really shown during these events,” says Director of Community Relations Linda Price, who organized the drives. “Our proceeds continue to grow each year and surpass previous years. This year, our supporters made it possible for us to split the proceeds among four wonderful organizations.”
