Salvation Army Annual 2009 Angel Tree Toy Drive

Belvidere Chiropractic Center is proud to partner with The Salvation Army on their Annual Holiday Angel Tree Program, which provides New Toys for Local Children of Needy Families.

Local Area Children are counting on you to make sure they have a Merry Christmas this year. Christmas is a time for celebrating, eating good food, opening gifts and being with the ones you love. Most of you would say it is the most joyous season of the year. However, others might disagree. Simply put, although most of you are fortunate enough to provide gifts for people you care about, the lady that lost her husband and is working to support her three kids making $20,000 a year is not so fortunate. To her, it is a time of struggle and a time of disappointment because she cannot provide what she would like to for her children.

Fortunately, there is a program called the Salvation Army Angel Tree that makes it all possible for Local Families like this. The Angel Tree was created back in 1979 by Majors Charles and Shirley White. The first year it was created, over 700 children received gifts and had a happier Christmas.

Since then, the Angel Tree is now helping over 41,000 children each year to have a better Christmas. It’s a very admirable program and we are pleased to say we participate.

The Angel Tree makes it easy to help, and insures that your gift of toys will go to a deserving local child. So please, while you are out shopping for your loved ones this year please remember to pick up some things for Local Children in Need and then just drop them off during our normal hours, Starting Today and until December 11th, 2009.

You can also shop online and have the toys delivered to us HERE:

The Salvation Army will then pick up your generous donation and will make sure that your gifts is delivered to a local little angel in time for Christmas.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes, and you clothed me, I was sick, and you looked after me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me … whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you also did for me.” – Matthew 25:35-40.

“In the middle of a forest there’s a clearing by a stream where a mother holds her newborn and the child begins to dream. And he dreams of hopes unspoken when the tears of man will cease and his mother holds him closer for he is the Prince of peace. How the emperor and the pauper with the lion and the lamb kneel down before the infant for his peace they understand. Let the world rejoice together as it looks upon the stars, knowing every man’s our brother and that every child is ours.” – Paul O’Neill of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, from the song entitled ‘Prince of Peace’.

Thank you and have a Very Merry Christmas.

About Dr Jon P Heins

I grew up in Linden, NJ. I graduated from Linden High School in 1989 and continued my education at Montclair State University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Biology in 1994. I then earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic (with Honors) at Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, GA in 1997, while completing a Physiotherapy Certification at Brenau College in Gainesville, GA in 1996, completed the National Board of Chiropractic Examinations Parts I, II, III and PT in 1996, and was Honored in the 1996 (19th edition) and 1997 (20th edition) National Dean’s List. I then completed the New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examination and obtained my NJ license to practice in 1998. I then held two Associate Chiropractic Physician positions at personal injury practices located in Hillside and Jersey City, NJ. Have been been qualified as an expert witness and have testified in various civil tort cases in Essex and Hudson counties, until purchasing Belvidere Chiropractic Center in 2000. I am currently an active member of the Association of NJ Chiropractor’s (ANJC) and the Association of NJ Chiropractor’s Sports Council (ANJCSC). As well as a local Adopt-a-Family Annual Toy Drive sponsor. It was as a young child that I learned about Chiropractic and how it helped with my headaches. I was four years old when I started to get headaches a couple times a week. My father took me to his Chiropractor and it helped. My father remembers me going in and coming out a different kid. I know that Chiropractic helped me, and knew then that I would help other people through Chiropractic care. I am happily married to his wife Michelle, and have a beautiful daughter, Aliyah. When I'm not in the office, I love to spend time with my family. We enjoy going traveling, hiking, swimming, spending time outside, reading, watching movies, and listening to music, and we all receive weekly chiropractic adjustments including my baby daughter.
