Reflecting on our growth and inviting you into what’s next
Everyday Wellbeing Builds Capacity
Together we’ve grown — now let’s build what comes next 🌿
As we reflect on this past year, one truth stands out: our community has grown stronger because of you.
Your generosity and participation have helped Everyday Wellbeing expand our reach, deepen our volunteer base, and welcome new board members who bring diverse talents and perspectives. Together, we’re creating a more sustainable foundation for the mission we all care about — making vibrant health accessible to everyone.
Now, we’re ready for the next step: building the financial capacity to match our growing impact. That means creating the resources for a paid staff position — someone who can coordinate volunteers, strengthen partnerships, and ensure our donation-based programs continue to flourish.
Here’s how you can help before year-end:
🌱 Give through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) — you can recommend a grant to Everyday Wellbeing from your account.
🤝 Check for a corporate match — your workplace may have a matching gift program, doubling your impact.
💛 Make a direct gift — your contribution, whether online or by check, in any amount, helps us sustain and expand what we’ve built together.
Your support now helps ensure that as our community grows, we have the strength and structure to meet that growth with care and consistency.
Let’s keep building this circle of wellbeing — for all.

You’ve asked for online options, but we’re not ready to make our daily morning yoga classes hybrid at the moment. We feel we need a dedicated, secure space and web-accessible equipment for all of our teachers. See below and on our website for online options in case you are traveling or prefer not to venture out on cold and snowy mornings.
