🩸🍽️ 5 Years of Impact, and We're Just Getting Started!

For the fifth year, the Center for Food Equity in Medicine proudly partnered with the Kristin Arielle Oliver Memorial Blood Drive team to host our annual Blood & Food Drive—a powerful day of giving, remembrance, and community. 💜

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we welcomed 21 participants and collected 19 pints of blood—and since just one pint can save up to three lives, that’s nearly 60 lives potentially impacted in a single afternoon! 🙌

We’re beyond grateful for everyone who rolled up a sleeve, dropped off food, or simply showed up in support. 💪🏽

We can't wait to do it all again for Do Good Weekend 2025—because together, we truly make a difference.

🧘‍♀️✨ Flashback to Last Monday's Team Building Yoga Session! ✨🧘‍♀️

Our CFFEIM team took a much-needed pause for some breathwork, balance, and bonding at Serendipity Yoga and Wellness last Monday. 💜

In the midst of all we do to serve our community, it’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to also care for ourselves. From deep stretches to deep laughs, this session was full of peace, presence, and purpose.

Here’s to staying grounded while we continue growing together.

#TBT: Do Good Weekend – A Huge Success! 🎉
“When a community comes together, incredible things happen!”

Our Do Good Weekend was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together! From a blood drive, a charity fundraiser, and a food drive in honor of MLK Weekend, we saw firsthand the generosity and compassion of our supporters. ❤️

To top it all off, we closed the weekend with a special CFFEIM team dinner, celebrating another impactful year of service and community care. 🍽️✨

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and showed up. Because of you, lives were touched, meals were shared, and hope was spread. Let’s carry this momentum into February! 💪

The holiday season is often filled with joy, family, and celebration, but for some, it can also be a time of quiet pain, loss, or struggle. 💔

Take a moment to check in on your loved ones, friends, and neighbors. A simple phone call, text, or visit can mean the world to someone who feels overlooked. Let’s make sure no one feels alone this season. 💙

✨ “Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire... If you did, what would there be to look forward to?”

This holiday season, let’s embrace gratitude even in the small moments. 🧡 Life may bring struggles, loss, and uncertainty, but being thankful for what we do have can bring light to the darkest days.

Let this poem, “Be Thankful,” remind us to cherish what’s present, look forward with hope, and share kindness with those around us. A simple check-in or kind word can mean the world to someone this season. 💛

🕊️ Remember: Gratitude heals. Connection strengthens. Love endures.

While the holidays bring lights, laughter, and love for many, they can also be a difficult time for those experiencing grief, illness, or loneliness. 💭

Let’s be mindful of those who may be quietly struggling:
Check in on friends and family.
Share a kind word, smile, or hug.
Offer a listening ear without judgment.

A little compassion can bring light into someone’s darkest season. ✨ Together, we can lift each other up.

Did you know? Vinegar has been used as a disinfectant for thousands of years! 🕰️ While it might not be as potent as commercial cleaners, vinegar can effectively reduce bacteria with some help. For an effective clean, scrub surfaces first to reduce bacteria, then apply vinegar for that extra disinfecting boost!

Vinegar: Budget-friendly, biodegradable, and effective! #CleaningHacks #GreenLiving #SustainableCleaning

Looking for a safe and eco-friendly way to clean? Vinegar might be your answer! 🧽

Although not as strong as commercial cleaners, vinegar’s acetic acid can still tackle many household germs. Studies show it’s effective against pathogens like the flu virus and even TB bacteria when used in a concentrated form. For best results, scrub surfaces first with hot, soapy water to break down bacteria and then follow with vinegar to finish the job!

Remember, sometimes a little elbow grease is all you need to keep surfaces clean and fresh. 💪
