Join us all month long at Modo Yoga Seattle on Fridays at 7:30pm for karma yoga in support of Elizabeth Gregory Home (EGH), serving “single homeless women in the greater Seattle area by providing transitional housing, a Day Center and case management services.” Throughout December your $5 donations will help support their mission to provide “a welcoming and respectful refuge where homeless and at-risk women have access to compassionate care.” Being homeless means that the women served at EGH lack many of the simple things we often take for granted each day – your donation can help!
Elizabeth Gregory Home does more than provide women in its care with a safe place to sleep, a hot meal, and a shower. Women have the opportunity to meet with EGH Care Managers for referrals, support and advocacy to obtain educational and vocational training, job skills, employment, medical care, mental health counseling, drug and alcohol support, and referrals to long-term housing. EGH also offers volunteer led classes that help build social skills, job skills and encourage healthy physical activity. Learn how to get involved with many volunteer opportunities by contacting Elizabeth Stevenson via email at estevenson@eghseattle.org.
