Feed the Hungry, Nourish Your Soul
Posted by: Jill Thomas, RYT 200
Our Yoga Day USA was was to promote awareness for the local food pantry in Crystal Lake, IL. Most people forget that supplies and donations run low after the holidays. We wanted to contribute in some way. The local paper published a press release 2 weeks before the event, much to my surprise, and then 2 subsequent notices were published in the "Today" section highlighting the day. The event was open to anyone who brought in a non-perishable food item or other good for the food pantry. Current students could bring in items the week prior to Yoga Day. We collected an amazing amount of items, and $180 in checks and cash. We are well aware that times are lean for many of our students and local citizens, so it was wonderful that so many people chose to participate.
