Our House’s third annual Health and Wellness Day was the biggest ever. More than 70 adults and 40 children came to the Education Building for health and wellness activities provided by over 30 volunteers and 15 booth partners. Guests could get basic health checks, participate in physical activities and a relaxation class, have lunch, and talk to medical professionals about any health topic. Photos Volunteer Jamal Williams shows guests how to use weights, balls, and other small gym equipment. In the storage room, volunteer Destiny gives free haircuts. In the Children’s Center, the grandchildren of Our House alumni Trish and Carl High do healthy eating activities, take care of baby dolls, and play dress up. Outside, Tyre and Jasmine attract an audience as they jump rope with volunteers.
