Past Events

With the help of our generous donors we were able to purchase $115 worth of food for the food pantry and 23 fans for the elderly members of New Hope Christian Church in Beaufort, South Carolina. 
Unfortunately some of the elderly members were reluctant to turn on their air conditioning units during these hot summer months because they did not want to increase their electric bill. The fans we donated use less energy and since they are less than 10 inches and portable they can take them from room to room.
A big thank you again to all of our donors. You help us create healthy environments across the globe!

We are pleased to announce that we made the first donation of 75 books to the Community Library in the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles. Now that the library is set up people in the community can come and check out books at their leisure. 

We were able to complete our first International project since TNWGWF officially became a non-profit.  With the help of your donations we provided volleyball nets, badminton sets and frisbees to Hattieville Government School in Hattieville, Belize. 

We were able to raise $300 to donate to the Senior Center Without Walls, which is expanding their program from just serving the Bay Area to serving seniors Nationally.

Senior Center Without Walls is an award-winning program offering activities, education, friendly conversation, and an assortment of classes, support groups, and presentations to seniors.  Each week, seniors can access over 70 groups by phone or online, all from the comfort of home.

The Nan Washington Global Wellness Foundation is pleased to announce that we had another very successful fundraiser!!!
With the help of donors we were able to purchase over $700 worth of sports equipment for the foster children at Hillside in Atlanta, GA. www.hside.org

We presented the equipment during the foster parent meeting and were able to educate the foster parents on the importance of healthy meals and how it impacts not only a child's physical health but mental health as well. The foster parents were taught the best diet to use with children who have ADHD and were encouraged to not only have the kids in their home to exercise but to also exercise with them. The foster parents actually got up at the end and showed us all, their hula hooping skills.

We were able to purchase a Wii mini, remotes, nanchuks, exercise games, soccer, football, volleyball, gloves, hula hoops and more.
We are blessing so many lives!!
Thank you for continuing to support The Nan Washington Global Wellness Foundation!
