Our friends at Stibbard Chiropractic in Riverside are holding a food drive in support of UHC's food pantry! Offering a range of chiropractic services, along with yoga classes, an extensive array of products and GrowCo postpartum rehab, not only are Dr. Rachel & Dr. Evan a wealth of knowledge, they're serious about giving back to their community. When you bring a donation of 3 non-perishables into the office, you'll be entered for a chance to win a cozy holiday basket! #FoodDrive #YQG #GivingBack #FeedTheNeed
