📣 Join our November Community Food Drive!!!
This month, BlueMoon Holistic invites our community to come together in a spirit of service, compassion, and connection. we’re opening our hearts , and our doors, to support our community through a season that feels heavier than most.
With Iowa’s SNAP benefits currently being held, thousands of families across our state are facing uncertainty about how they’ll put food on the table this November. Nearly 270,000 Iowans rely on these benefits, and as federal funding stalls, local food banks are preparing for an overwhelming increase in need.
In Story County alone, over 4,000 individuals across 2,000 households depend on food assistance, and behind each number is a human story, a family doing their best.
With rising food and living-costs, our neighbours, classmates, fellow yogis and families may be quietly struggling.
Here’s how you can help:
• Drop off non-perishable food items, before or after your yoga class, or anytime in the lobby of our historic hotel.
• Drive runs through the end of November, let’s build momentum and make a meaningful impact this season.
•All donated items will be distributed to local food pantries serving families in need.
Suggested items:
• Canned goods (vegetables, fruit, beans, soup)
• Dry staples (rice, pasta, oats, whole grain cereal)
• Healthy snacks (nut-free, allergy-friendly)
• Shelf-stable proteins (canned chicken/tuna, nut butters)
• Extras: personal-care items, baby formula, hygiene items
Why this matters:
Our studio is more than movement and breath, it is a community that holds space for healing, resilience, and love. Just as we serve our inner selves on the mat, we can serve the wider body of our community. When we drop an item in the bin, we offer more than food, we offer dignity, connection, and hope.
Will you feel called?
If you are able, bring a donation. If you can’t bring a physical item, please share this post… our reach grows when the story is told.
Together we resurrect love not only within, but across our neighbourhood.
Thank you for opening your heart and hands. Let’s make November a month of giving, service, and community.
With gratitude,
The BlueMoon Holistic Team 💙💙💙
