Food Drive Success

The Ice Storms in January caused the loss of power for most of the Louisville area.  Shelters and food banks provided an unprecedented amount of assistance to those in need.  Dr. Patrick Lowe, a chiropractor in Louisville’s east end, saw the need and decided to help Wayside Christian mission to help restock their shelves and help them continue helping others. Wayside provides food, shelter and  programs to help Louisville’s growing homeless population.

Dr. Lowe sponsored a

food drive to benefit Wayside Christian Mission.   Mary Heady stated, ” We just called up and asked what we could do to help.  Someone suggested a food drive and that’s exactly what we did.”

The drive was called A Ton of Food,  A Ton of Hope

Patients and friends brought in non-perishable food items and monetary donations.   Additional food was purchased with the monies collected.  At the end of February, they had collected an amazing 860 pounds of food.

“There was everything from restaurant sized cans of food to starbucks coffee,  people really came through.  Many of the people bringing food in had suffered damage and losses themselves. “  said Dr. Lowe.

This isn’ t the first time Dr. Lowe has worked with Wayside and other local charities.  Lowe Chiropractic & Wellness routinely sponsors food drives and coat drives to help the people of Louisville.
