Giving Hearts make Healthy Hearts with the Ignite Wellness Campaign – a movement by Family Wellness to spark change and build a stronger, healthier community. Through wellness programming, education and advocacy, and community outreach, we’re empowering individuals and families to thrive. From healthy cooking and fitness programs to specialized support services and community engagement, we’re meeting diverse needs across all ages and abilities. This Giving Hearts Day, consider a donation of $10 or more, and every gift will be matched up to $3,000 by our generous sponsors. Together, let’s ignite wellness and create a brighter, healthier future for all!

In an effort to reach our corporate match, we will be running fundraising events all day for our members to join in on the fun, see details below:
