GIBBSTOWN — The Food Bank of South Jersey has once again teamed up with Dr. Blaise K. Glodowski of Gibbstown Chiropractic Center for their 38th Annual Food Drive to help feed people in South Jersey during the holiday season.
Glodowski stated he usually holds the food drive the week before Thanksgiving. That way he knows people will have food on their table for Thanksgiving.
Not only will his office be a drop-off site from Nov.15 through Nov. 22, but a special event, “Community Appreciation Day”, will be held on Saturday Nov. 21 where he will be providing health services at no charge in exchange for non-perishable food items.
Glodowski will offer all services including stress exams, life extension evaluations, nutrition and weight loss advice, physicals and x-rays (if needed).
The food bank asks patrons instead to bring donations of non-perishable food items. The normal fees for medical services would normally range from $35 to $450.
This year Glodowski will once again be helped by Betty-Jo Zeno, a level 2 Reiki instructor, who will be providing natural healing and is also working on having a certified massage therapist that day as well. Inspira Healthcare will be doing blood pressure and glucose testing 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.
Dr. Glodowski said his personal goal this year is to donate $5,000 in services that day.
Last year the Food Bank of South Jersey told him that his office is considered an “Elite Organization” because they collected over 2,000 pounds of food from his event. All the food collected will be distributed right back here in our area.
He hopes to collect even more food or monetary donations this year as food banks’ need is 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.
