Gifts That Aren’t Stuff!

by Uncategorized

Low-consumption gift ideas that support West End small businesses!

Here we go, it’s the holidays… but, if you’re like us, you might have what we call ‘stuff fatigue.’ Many of us already have way too much stuff! So, the prospect of giving and receiving even more of it feels both over- and under-whelming. 

Add to this stress the prospect of trying to ethically, thoughtfully, and meaningfully give to those we care about most — ordering objects made overseas, from large corporations, swathed in plastic just feels wrong! 

This season, how about giving the gift of experience, wellness, or nourishment while supporting some of your favorite local businesses? Here are some of our favorites things that won’t collect dust in the closet:

1. Affordable Acupuncture from PCA

2. Awesome body work from Westside Wellness and Leverage

3. Yoga for Alignment at Iyengar Yoga Source

4. Coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and solidarity at worker-owned White Electric

5. Funky Pints of Ice Cream with locally sourced ingredients from Big Feeling

6. Festive and Beloved Ice Cream Sandwiches from Tricycle Ice Cream

7. Take them out for dinner, drinks, & Sunday Jazz at Courtland Club

Bonus ideas… Make a charitable donation to one of Providence’s many mutual aid, community outreach, or youth empowerment organizations in someone’s name: AMOR, Providence Street Coalition, Providence Student Union, New Urban Arts, Project Weber Renew, Amos House, House of Hope, Haus of Codec

Announcing Two Fundraisers (Emphasis on Fun!) + Introducing Our New Pay-It-Forward System

by Uncategorized

Save the dates! 

We’d love to see you at one or both of our upcoming FUNdraisers on:

Saturday, December 13th from 10am – 1pm
+ Wednesday, December 31st from 10am – 12pm.

December 13th’s fundraiser party will feature FREE ear acupuncture treatments, a drawing with many prizes for PCA swag, free treatments, and more, plus $5 off return treatment coupons for anyone who signs up to come for FREE ear acupuncture during a specific time window. 

Call the front desk at 401-272-2288 to sign up for a time window for treatment. 

December 31st’s fundraiser party will feature its own unique goodies, so stay tuned for more details…

Both of December’s FUNdraisers will support our new Pay-It-Forward program. We’re so excited to roll out our Pay-It-Forward Program at PCA! As we head into a season of increased stress and skyrocketing healthcare premiums for so many of us, this feels like an important offering.

Here’s how it works….

Patients, friends, and community members who donate at one of our upcoming fundraisers, or pay a little extra at their next appointment (suggested donations are $5-50, anything helps!) will help PCA provide free treatments to folks who want a treatment, but can’t afford it. 

PCA will aim to provide 5 free treatments per week, to 5 different individuals. There will be a visual tracker over the front desk to show how we’re doing. 

Can’t afford to contribute more but still want to get in on the fun? No problem. Our FUNdraisers are open to everyone. Just showing up to receive a free 5NP ear acupuncture treatment, sharing on social media or amongst friends, gifting PCA certificates for the holidays, and getting regular treatments while using our sliding scale honestly, makes a big difference.

We hope to be here to provide acupuncture and a space to co-regulate to everyone in the community for the long run!
