After reviewing the applications, Moonflower’s Seeds to Start Grant selection committee is pleased to announce our fall 2024 grant recipient, the Wellness Collective!
The Wellness Collective is dedicated to fostering equitable access to health and wellness resources within the greater Moab community. Their mission is to cultivate a thriving community where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential through holistic well-being, self-care, and mental health support. The Wellness Collective seeks to inspire positive change and provide sustainable wellness opportunities for those they serve.
The Seeds to Start Grant funds will go towards their Meal Support Circle, the purpose of which is to provide preventative and early intervention nutritional health services that address disordered eating, food disparity, and nutrition education in the Moab community. Participants of this weekly program will engage in hands-on meal preparation and educational discussions with local experts on nutrition and health topics. This program is designed to address the food literacy education gap, promote and reduce barriers to a healthy lifestyle, reduce food insecurity, and improve community health outcomes. The grant funds will be used to purchase locally sourced ingredients and outreach materials for the program.
We look forward to contributing to this program!
