Health & Wellness

Together, we can serve humanity.

Health & Wellness is designed to address the issues that affect the well-being of individuals, families, and communities by providing opportunities and resources to meet and address needs through volunteering. This program develops and implements projects that involve:

  • Living a healthy lifestyle

  • Increasing awareness, prevention, research, and treatment of disease
  • Personal development
  • Addressing the troubles of hunger, insufficient housing, and homelessness
  • Prevention or correction financial difficulties
