The New Roads Chiropractic Center is participating in the “Helping Hands” program in which area residents receive free chiropractic services in exchange for donating food for the needy.

Those wishing to participate are invited to stop by the center, 331 Hospital Road, New Roads, on Nov. 11 to receive examinations and treatments in exchange for a bag of nonperishable food items. Donations also will be accepted from residents who don’t wish to be examined or treated.

Suggested items for donation include canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, bags of rice, dried beans, powdered milk, cereal, baby food, peanut butter and Jell-O gelatin.

For more information, contact the clinic at (225) 618-8016.
