Today I wanted to share the wonderful volunteer work my friend @camisana_ is doing for the Austin Street Center in Texas. With how limited COVID has made everything for all of us, Cami felt called to volunteer her services as a yoga teacher monthly to be able to provide the residents of the shelter with some movement and a bit of joy. As of right now, the residents are only able to practice yoga on towels, but we would very much love for the community to help us change that!

We are currently seeking the following donations -
15 Yoga Mats
15 Yoga Blocks + Strap
5 Yoga Mat Cleaner Wipes
I have created an Amazon wishlist with the items (LIST HERE) and appreciate any help in helping us achieve this goal.
The Austin Street Center provides safe shelter and meets the basic needs of the most vulnerable homeless.
Founded in 1983, Austin Street Center is the largest low barrier shelter in Dallas that serves men, ages 45 and older, and women, ages 18 and older. Each person who finds shelter with Austin Street Center is provided a safe place to sleep, showers, clothing, and meals.
More than just a meal and a bed, the Austin Street individualized model of service attempts to treat the whole individual through a comprehensive program that includes: housing coordination and stabilization services; employment and education resources; benefits and ID assistance; mental health services on-site; spiritual, emotional, and addiction support; diversion; transportation; and more.
Austin Street Center’s goal is to help clients transition from homelessness to independence. #HelpThemHome
If you’d like to learn more about the shelter and other ways to donate/volunteer please visit Ausinstreet.org.
We whole heartedly believe that wellness should be accessible to everyone and look forward to creating positive change in that direction. Love and appreciation to all of you in advance.
A million thanks,
Drea + Cami
