The holiday season is a time of giving, sharing, and coming together as a community. At Novo Chiropractic Sports & Wellness Center, we believe in the power of community support, especially during times when families need it most. There's still time to make a meaningful difference in the life of a local family this season.
Our Partnership with The Dwelling Place
We're proud to partner with The Dwelling Place, a local organization dedicated to helping families in transition find stable housing and support. This holiday season, we're working together to provide essential items and support to families who are working hard to rebuild their lives.
About The Dwelling Place
The Dwelling Place serves families experiencing homelessness in Kent County by providing transitional housing, supportive services, and pathways to permanent housing. Their mission aligns perfectly with our commitment to community wellness – because true health includes having a safe, stable place to call home.

The Impact of Your Generosity
When you contribute to this initiative, you're not just providing material items – you're offering hope, dignity, and the message that our community cares. For families working to rebuild their lives, knowing that neighbors are willing to help can make all the difference.
"The support from the community through partnerships like this one with Novo Chiropractic helps our families feel valued and supported during their transition. It's not just about the items donated – it's about the message that people care and want to help."

Why Community Support Matters
At Novo Chiropractic, we understand that health and wellness extend far beyond physical treatment. Social support, stable housing, and community connections are all vital components of overall well-being. When we help families in our community, we're contributing to the health of our entire region.
🌟 The Ripple Effect of Kindness
When we support families in transition, we're not just helping them through a difficult time – we're:
- • Helping children maintain stability during challenging times
- • Supporting parents as they work toward independence
- • Strengthening our entire community
- • Creating a culture of caring and support
- • Building connections that last beyond the holiday season
Get Your Family Involved
This is a wonderful opportunity to involve your entire family in giving back to the community. Children especially benefit from learning about generosity and community service. Consider making this a family project:
- Let children help choose items to donate
- Explain how their contributions will help other families
- Make it a learning experience about community and caring
- Create new family traditions around giving back
Time is Running Out
While there's still time to help, the holiday season is approaching quickly. We encourage you to act soon to ensure your contributions can be distributed to families in time for the holidays.
⏰ Important Dates
