Last November we partnered with East Nashville Care Market (ENCM) during the government shutdown, which disrupted SNAP benefits. Our community stepped up with awareness, donations, and goods.

One in ten Tennesseans felt the impact. With funds drained, November benefits came late and reduced, leaving neighbors in urgent need. ENCM was able to serve 1.5K neighbors, representing over 600 households.

AB Yoga attendees were in the top percentage of givers in terms of funds raised and in-kind goods provided for ENCM. With this, we decided it was time to establish a recurring, strategic partnership. This month, your funds this month will go to hundreds of neighbors in need, helping them spring into the new season with resources and support.

Thank you for all you do 💖
