Creating Stability: Our Commitment to Community Empowerment

At Odessa Yoga, we believe in the transformative power of yoga not only for individual well-being but also for creating positive change in our communities. That's why we're dedicated to giving back by donating 5% of our annual profits between two incredible organizations: Kidsave and Food Forward. Let's explore the impactful work of each organization and how it aligns with our studio's values.

Kidsave: Providing Stability and Love for Foster Youth

Kidsave is a nonprofit organization committed to finding permanent, loving families for older children and teens in foster care. Many of these children face the uncertainty of aging out of the system without ever experiencing the stability and support of a permanent home. Kidsave intervenes by connecting these youth with caring adults through hosting weekends, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts.

By donating a portion of our profits to Kidsave, we support their mission of providing stability, love, and a sense of belonging to children who have experienced the instability and upheaval of the foster care system. We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow, thrive, and explore the depths of mind, body, and spirit.

Food Forward: Fighting Hunger, Nourishing Communities

Food Forward is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste in Southern California. They rescue fresh surplus produce from farms, farmers markets, and wholesale markets that would otherwise go to waste and distribute it to those in need through various hunger relief agencies, shelters, and food banks.

By donating a portion of our profits to Food Forward, we support their efforts to provide nutritious food to individuals and families facing food insecurity. We recognize that access to healthy food is essential for physical health, mental well-being, and overall stability. The lack of a stable foundation of food and proper nourishment makes it more difficult to cultivate a mindful & healthy life.

Cultivating Stability for Mind, Body, and Spirit

At Odessa Yoga, we understand that true wellness encompasses more than just physical fitness. It's about creating stability and nurturing the body, mind, and spirit. Without a stable foundation of nutritious food, shelter, and security, it can be incredibly challenging to prioritize deeper connections with oneself and one's overall well-being beyond meeting basic needs.

Through our giving back initiative, we aim to address these fundamental needs in our communities. By donating a portion of our profits to Kidsave and Food Forward, your support directly contributes to providing stability, love, and nourishment to those who need it most. These organizations work tirelessly to ensure that every individual has access to the basic foundation they deserve but so many don't receive.

Kidsave strives to find permanent, loving families for older children and teens in foster care, while Food Forward rescues surplus produce to fight hunger and reduce food waste in Southern California. Your contribution not only provides immediate assistance but also lays the groundwork for individuals and families to thrive and explore deeper levels of wellness.
