See How Whitley Chiropractic & Wellness Center is Giving Back

Annual Food Drive

November of 2006 was the start of an annual food drive in our office to help the hungry of Whitley County.  We have donated over 750 bags of food and approximately $6500 in gift cards to the St Vincent DePaul food pantry.

The St Vincent DePaul Food Pantry is located at St Paul of the Cross in Columbia City. The pantry provides non-perishable food items to those needing help in Whitley County. They sometimes provide perishable items as well when they are available. For more information on how you can help the St Vincent DePaul food pantry, call the church office at 260-244-5723.

We look forward to each November to see the outpouring of support from our patients and the faces of the pantry volunteers when arrive at their door with our donations.

Diaper Drive for BABE

BABE is a non-profit organization that has a mission to provide quality incentives to parents who participate in preventative and prenatal care, including parenting, educational and nutritional classes to promote healthy pregnancy, birth outcome and early childhood development. BABE is located at the corner of 301 North Main Street in Columbia City with director Shawn Ellis overseeing its operation. If you would like more information about BABE or would like to make a donation directly to them, they can be reached at 260-244-2820.

Since BABE started their county wide “BABE GIVE” taking place each April since 2009, we have donated over 23,500 diapers and $1400 in cash donations with the awesome support of our patients.

First Miler Campaign for Eel River Trail Head

Whitley Chiropractic and Wellness Center along with other donors contributed at least $1000 towards Phase I trail construction. Special tiles commemorating these First Milers will be set in the asphalt along a section of the trail.  The Friends of Eel River Trail is a non-profit all-volunteer citizen group, founded in 2006. Our goal is to convert the historic Eel River Railroad line extending from Columbia City to South Whitley, Indiana into an ADA-compliant trail for the safe, nonmotorized recreational enjoyment and health of everyone. 

Drs. Lori and Jamie both believe the importance of healthy low cost activities that promote exercise for the community are vital.  If you would like to be involved by donation or helping out with the project visit there web site at: http://www.eelrivertrail.org/index.html
