With the devastation of the May 22 tornado dramatically increasing the numbers of those in need, and the Holidays fast approaching, the team at Carlson Chiropractic Center is pleased to announce that they will be hosting a Salvation Army Angel Tree in their lobby from November 11 – December 9, at their office at 2318 East 32nd, Suite B.
The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program provides new clothing and/or toys to area children. A sponsoring company or organization, like Carlson Chiropractic Center, places a Christmas tree in a high traffic area, and the tree is decorated with Angel Tags with the first name, age, and gender of a child who will receive the gift. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child described on the tags. The gifts are then delivered to the Salvation Army and later picked up by the parent to distribute to the child on Christmas Day.
“This is our second year to host an Angel Tree, and we are excited to do our part to make sure that no child has to wake up to a Christmas morning without a gift,” Dr. Steven M. Carlson said. “It is truly better to give than receive, and last year we had a great response, over 25 Angels needs were meet in our office. It is very exciting to see so many of our patients willing to help others out, and I’m looking forward to participating in this event again this year.”
The Salvation Army will be delivering 16 Angel Trees throughout Joplin and Webb City this year, and according to Lt. Jamie Curry, the trees are placed in areas that will be visible to a cross section of the entire community. “Carlson Chiropractic is just fantastic, they are so helpful and eager to participate.”
“Our theme this year is ‘Your Donation Provides Hope’ and businesses like Carlson Chiropractic are helping us help others,” Lt. Curry said. “Without the many businesses and organizations in the area helping us, we couldn’t do it, there is no possible way we could gather all of these toys. Each participating business and organization is so vital to what we do.”
“Together we can make a difference in the needs that our community is facing this Holiday Season,” Dr. Carlson added. “We need to make sure that we do all that we can to help our community, our friends and neighbors, and most importantly, the children.”
Since 2003 the professionals at Carlson Chiropractic Center have worked with a hands-on approach to health care, committed to bringing each of their patients better health and a better way of life by teaching and practicing the principles of chiropractic wellness care. With a strong focus on prevention, Dr. Steven Carlson and the entire Carlson Chiropractic team are dedicated to helping their patients achieve all of their wellness objectives, assisting them in living life to the fullest!
