Give Nourishment, Receive Healing: Our Annual Food Drive Is Back

As the holiday season approaches, many families in our community face an extra-hard reality: empty shelves, tight budgets, and fewer meals than they need. Each year, our Annual Food Drive helps bridge that gap—and this is one of the simplest, most meaningful ways to support your neighbors.

To say thank you for giving, we’re offering something in return that supports your well-being, too.

Donate Food, Get a Complimentary Acupuncture Treatment

Wednesdays only — now through April 15th

When you bring in a food donation – a minimum of 5 food items to receive the complimentary session – on a Wednesday, you’ll receive a one-time complimentary acupuncture treatment at our Intern Clinic. Your generosity nourishes someone else—and your body gets a chance to reset, restore, and recharge.

How It Works

1. Bring a food donation or a new or gently used winter coat to our clinic

2. Come on a Wednesday between now and April 15th.

3. Receive your one-time complimentary acupuncture treatment

*Treatments are provided by supervised student interns under the guidance of our Licensed Clinical Supervisors. Availability may be limited, so please arrive early or call ahead if possible.

What to Donate

A gently used or new winter coat.

We welcome non-perishable, unopened items, especially:

• Canned proteins (tuna, chicken, beans)

• Peanut butter or nut-free alternatives

• Rice, pasta, oatmeal

• Canned vegetables and fruit

• Soup, stew, chili

• Condiments

• Healthy snacks for kids (granola bars, crackers)

• Fruits canned in their own juices

If you’re unsure what to bring or donate, please ask.

Food drives don’t just fill shelves—they restore dignity. A bag of groceries can mean a child goes to bed full, an elder can keep their kitchen stocked, or a parent can stretch a paycheck one more week.

At the same time, acupuncture offers its own kind of support during the busiest season of the year:

• easing stress and anxiety

• improving sleep

• calming the nervous system

• helping with pain, tension, and fatigue

• boosting overall resilience

This event is about community care in every sense of the phrase.

Drop-Off Details

Donations accepted on Wednesdays through April 15th.

Let’s Care for Each Other

Your contribution makes a real difference. Thank you for helping us support local families with compassion—and for being part of a community that believes healing should reach everyone.

We can’t wait to see you this Wednesday!!
