A High Five for RI Chiropractors’ Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island
Rhode Island, Jan 08, 2020 -- The Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island (CSRI), one of the oldest chiropractic associations in the country, kicked off the second month of its Healing Hands Glove and Mitten drive to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island with several participating doctors reporting an overflow of donated gloves and mittens. Dr. Karen Anania, DC, a chiropractic physician with a practice located at 172 Broadway in Providence was one CSRI member who experienced an overwhelming response to the drive. Big Brothers Big Sisters recently made a special stop at her office to receive donations. “I have great patients, so I can’t say I’m surprised by the response,” said Dr. Anania. “But this exceeded my expectations and I’m hoping we can fill and empty the bin one or two more times before the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive ends.”
Collections for the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive began at participating chiropractor offices on December 1 and will continue through January 31. Both new and gently used gloves and mittens are gratefully accepted. More than 29 chiropractors in Rhode Island are participating. Those are listed on CSRI’s website at https://www.richiro.org/.
The program is also sponsored by the Rhode Island Newspaper Group (RING), which includes 19 newspapers throughout the Ocean State. RING has run ads promoting the drive. “As chiropractors, our entire livelihood depends on our hands so we know what delicate instruments the hands can be. To be without mittens or gloves during the frigid winter months, particularly those who are homeless, can be extremely damaging to the hands,” said Dr. Michael Zola, president of the CSRI and a chiropractic physician. “We thank all those who have donated so far and the participating doctors who have helped raise awareness among Rhode Islanders about this drive. We’re hoping to reach many more people out there to generate more donations.”
To generate as many donations as possible, CSRI invited all Rhode Island chiropractors to participate, with no fee involved. Chiropractors merely need to put a donation box in the waiting room at their practice and pass out flyers to patients. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island handles collection and disbursement.
