Community Outreach

This HWB CHAPTER is dedicated to transforming communities through a multitude of projects and models, culminating in a comprehensive community-centered framework that fosters holistic wellness for all.

At the heart of this framework is Community Outreach, also known as Community Supported Herbalism (CSH), which serves as an encompassing umbrella for various mutual aid and community outreach initiatives, addressing the unique needs of local communities. This holistic approach brings together Free Clinics, Community Apothecaries, Community Gardens, Seed Libraries and Seed Swaps, Education, Plant Walks, Disaster Relief, and more. By integrating these diverse branches, the community model functions as an interconnected organism, ensuring that each project complements and supports the others.

Within this dynamic framework of Community Outreach, there are numerous opportunities to engage in community care and transformative projects, including:

Creating self-care kits specifically tailored for the local unhoused community, providing essential resources and wellness support.

Developing wellness packs to be distributed at a local food pantry on community day, promoting well-being and nourishment for individuals and families in need.

Organizing online educational classes for local residents, focusing on family herbal health and wellness, empowering individuals with knowledge and tools to enhance their well-being.

Collaborating with local farms to establish a sustainable source of fresh food and herbal resources for the community, ensuring access to nourishing ingredients.

Crafting salves for aid and relief efforts, offering natural and soothing remedies in times of crisis.

Assembling wellness support kits for families residing in local shelters, providing much-needed comfort and support during challenging times.

Creating care packages for refugees living along the border, extending compassion and assistance to those seeking refuge and a fresh start in a new community.

These initiatives, under the HWB CHAPTER umbrella, not only address immediate needs but also contribute to the long-term well-being and resilience of the community. By fostering a sense of interconnectedness and mutual support, HWB CHAPTER is committed to creating a thriving, holistic, and inclusive community where wellness is accessible to all.
