nourish the next chapter for fired & tired feds [ & friends ]

here's the thing: 

our nation's tired & fired feds [ & contractors & implementing partners ] are going THROUGH IT. 

they are desperate for clarity, eager for connection & validation, & in many cases, feel totally lost as they attempt to chart a healthy & hopeful path forward - personally & professionally.

how it started: 

only two days after rebecca & i were laid off from our jobs in HHS in february 2025, we decided to do something - to create a soft landing for our former colleagues & holistically support them as they find their next right moves. a few phone calls & many canva designs later, our social impact start-up wellfed was born.  

who we are:

wellfed was built from scratch from our shared expertise - in learning & development, retreat facilitation, workforce culture & well-being [ mixed with the undeniable logistical prowess of amanda, our director of operations & membership, and tiffany, our impact & community relations guru. ]

how we do it:

we curate a, holistic, meet-you-in-the-moment menu of career development workshops, expert-led small group sessions, networking events, storytelling practice, interview prep, upskilling, & wellness activities - all in the name of ensuring our members are truly wellfed.

our membership has grown to 700+, representing over 30 agencies & operating divisions across government - as well as contractors, implementing partners, among others. & we're just getting started.

here's how you can help:

your financial contribution - at any level - makes the following possible:

• expand & sustain our free virtual programs like sponsored meditation, financial literacy, career development, and resume-building for our members.
• cover essential operational costs including software, website, marketing, Zoom, and database support for our 700+ wellfed members.
• fund our care & career-focused in-person "reset retreats", hosted in major cities across the country. 
• as recently laid-off federal employees ourselves, your support helps us grow wellfed's vision while also meeting the essential needs of our grassroots leadership team.

in closing, we really appreciate YOU.

thanks for stopping by to sample what we're serving up: a big ol' helping of dignity & direction for deeply deserving public servants.
