Join us for a heartwarming gathering where kids can practice gratitude, spread kindness, and make a difference in our community!
Activities
We’ll begin with 30 minutes of gratitude yoga, using gentle movement, mindfulness, and reflection to help children appreciate the good things in their lives.
After yoga, we’ll put gratitude into action by working together to fill bags with non-perishable Thanksgiving food items for the Waukesha Mutual Aid Network’s November Food Share.
To finish our time together, children will decorate festive holiday cards to tuck into each bag, sharing warm wishes, encouragement, and a little extra joy with the individuals and families receiving the food.
Come ready to stretch, share, create, and spread kindness!
Impact
This event helps children understand that gratitude goes beyond appreciating what we have—it also means finding ways to care for others.
-
- – Through gratitude yoga, children will practice mindfulness and develop an appreciation for the people and blessings in their lives.
- – By assembling bags of non-perishable food items, they will take meaningful action to support local individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.
- – By decorating holiday cards, they add a peresonal touch and remind recipients that they are valued, cared for, and part of a community that wants to support them.
- – And by combining wellness, creativity, and service, we can nurture empathy, generosity, and a lifelong spirit of giving in children while helping spread nourishment, connection, and holiday cheer throughout the community.
