RI Chiropractors Concludes Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive for Big Brothers Big Sisters of RI

WARWICK, R.I. - Feb. 25, 2020 - PRLog -- The Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island (CSRI), one of the oldest chiropractic associations in the country, concluded its Healing Hands Glove and Mitten drive to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island. Several doctors, including Dr. Victoria Malchar of Malchar Giovanni Chiropractic at 33 College Hill Rd, 30C Warwick, received an overwhelming response to the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten drive.

"Our patients are the best and we knew they would jump right in and contribute," said Dr. Malchar.

Collections for the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive began at participating chiropractor offices on December 1 and ended on January 31. Both new and gently used gloves and mittens were 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 was also sponsored by the Rhode Island Newspaper Group (RING), which includes 19 newspapers throughout the Ocean State. RING ran 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 donated and the participating doctors who helped raise awareness about this issue among Rhode Islanders with this drive."

To generate as many donations as possible, CSRI invited all Rhode Island chiropractors to participate, with no fee involved. Chiropractors placed donation boxes in their waiting rooms and passed out flyers to patients. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island handled collection and disbursement.
