GIBBSTOWN — The Food Bank of South Jersey has once again teamed up with Dr. Blaise K. Glodowski of Gibbstown Chiropractic Center for their 37th Annual Food Drive to help feed people in South Jersey during the holiday season.
The food drive is held the week before Thanksgiving so that Glodowski knows people will have food on their plates for Thanksgiving.
Not only will his office be a drop-off site from Nov.16 through Nov.23 but a special event “Community Appreciation Day” will be held on Saturday, Nov. 22 where he will be providing health services at no charge in exchange for non-perishable food items.
Dr. Glodowski will offer all services including stress exams, life extension evaluations, nutrition and weight loss advice, physicals and x-rays if needed. The normal fees for medical services would normally range from $35-$450. Glodowski said his personal goal is to donate $5,000 in services that day. The food bank asks patrons instead to bring donations of non-perishable food items.
This year Glodowski will once again be helped by a certified massage therapist and by Betty-Jo Zeno, a level 2 Reiki instructor who will also be providing free massages and natural healing that day. Inspira Healthcare will also be doing blood pressure and cholesterol screenings also at no charge.
Each person who comes in will be eligible to win door prizes donated by area sponsors. Refreshments and food will also be provided.
Last year his office collected well over 1,000 pounds of food from his event and all the food collected was distributed right back here in our area. He hopes to collect even more food or monetary donations this year as food banks’ needs are at an all-time high.
Everyone is invited to attend but please call Gibbstown Chiropractic Center in advance for an appointment at (856) 423-3899.
The top 10 needs of food banks are peanut butter and jelly, pasta, spaghetti sauce, pancake mix, syrup, cereal, canned meats, tuna, juice, and canned stews.
