We are heartbroken over the loss of our wonderful friend and board President, Tiffany Varlaro.
Tiff was such a bright light, always ready to help and unwavering in her support. She will be truly and deeply missed.

HWC is proud to host our inaugural First Responders Wellness Summit on March 19, 2026 at Herkimer College. This FREE, full-day summit is designed specifically for law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs/paramedics, dispatchers, spouses, and supporting professionals—because wellness matters on and off the job.
Hear from industry professionals including Carrie Wong (NYS Office of Mental Health), Detective Christopher Paul (NYPD Peer Support Advocate & Herkimer alum), Luci Labriola-Cuffe, and Tim Graves from NYS DHSES Fire Prevention & Control, as they lead conversations on stress management, peer advocacy, financial planning, and sustainable wellness strategies.

Today we had the joy of delivering five bikes and helmets to a local family—because when our friends at Thunder Wheels called and asked for help, we had to make it happen!
That brings our December total to FIFTEEN bikes given away!
We are incredibly grateful for the support from United Way, whose funding makes moments like this possible. And trust us—2026 is going to be even better!
Have a gently used bike you’re ready to pass along? Let’s give the gift of movement to even MORE local families 🚴‍♀️✨

✨We’re beyond excited to share that Hoffman Wellness Collective has been awarded $15,000 through the Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida County, Herkimer County Grant Round - Wesley and Marion Small Fund!
💪🏼This funding will directly support UpLIFT in local schools—bringing strength training, connection, and wellness to students where everyone can access it!
🧠 Did you know? Research shows that students who engage in regular physical activity can improve academic performance by up to 40% and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by 20–30%. Movement truly fuels both minds and bodies!
🫶🏼A huge THANK YOU to the Community Foundation for believing in our mission and investing in healthier, happier communities. Let’s keep lifting each other up—one day at a time!

🧡🍁This November, we were grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside our Central Valley PTO, teachers, and community partners to help deliver holiday meals to 62 families in our school community.

Watching so many people show up with generosity, compassion, and a true spirit of service was truly moving.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed food, goods, time, and support. We are especially thankful for Hannaford, & Compassion Coalition and our friends/neighbors for their remarkable generosity and their ongoing commitment to lifting up our school and community.

Outcomes like this remind us how meaningful it is when we come together with a shared purpose. Thank you for helping make this season a little brighter for so many! 🤎🍂
