This hour-long vinyasa yoga class, taught by certified yoga instructor Emily Shea, will benefit a few different community organizations and mutual aid efforts local to Boston, most of which focus on combating food insecurity:
• Boston's Community Fridges: During the pandemic, community fridges were set up in neighborhoods throughout the city (Allston, Dorchester, Fenway, Somerville, and Roslindale). Donations will go to the organizers to be used at their discretion or to purchase and drop off supplies. These outdoor fridges are stocked with fruits, veggies, canned goods, and even household items and toiletries, and they're free for anyone to access.
• Community Servings: Community Servings, based in JP, provides home-delivered, medically-tailored meals to homebound people living with critical and chronic illnesses (HIV/AIDS, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, and many others).
• Haley House: Haley House is a long-standing Boston nonprofit that runs several community programs, a soup kitchen, food pantry, and a bakery-cafe social enterprise in the South End/Roxbury neighborhoods.
• Greater Boston Food Bank: The Greater Boston Food Bank is the largest hunger-relief organization in all of New England. Between October 1 and the end of this month, their "Hunger Free Holiday" initiative set a goal of giving out 20 million meals across Eastern MA.
• North End Christmas Fund: Through a committee at the North End neighborhood health center, individuals and families are selected and directly receive a check from this fund. Recipients are people in the neighborhood who "may have lost their job, had a health crisis, are in financial need or maybe just need some cheering up at the holiday due to loneliness or loss of a loved one during the past year."
