I’ve been a yoga instructor for the last 20 years. Here’s what I’ve learned. Teaching yoga has imparted many lovely ideals onto my life including presence, empathy, intuition and generosity.

💙 What an AMAZING time we had at Community Day at Park Place Apartments! ☀️🎉

It was so special getting to see both familiar and new faces, connect with families, laugh with the kids, and continue building relationships with the community we’ll be serving through our Summer Lunch Program this year. Moments like these are such a reminder of why this work matters so much. 💛

As we prepare for summer, we are STILL in need of donations to help us provide lunches and snacks for the children in our community. Some of our most needed items include:
🥪 Lunchables
🍇 Uncrustables
🍎 Healthy snacks & grab-and-go items

We are also looking for volunteers to help us hand out lunches and engage with the kids throughout the summer! 🙌

Every donation, every volunteer, and every act of kindness makes a difference.

As we reflect in gratitude, please note our holiday hours will be:
