Stop by the HCOA Gallery in March to see "Tied in Knots" Macrame artwork by Chelsea Carpen

"I hope my art inspires a moment of calm release, an unknotting of your own struggles, and perhaps the desire to seek your own form of artistic healing." - Chelsea Carpenter

We're excited to offer this Chair Mobility & Stretching class to our schedule! This class will be 30-min long on Mondays & Fridays from 1-1:30pm and the cost is $2 to the instructor (Maria or Rowan).

"Chair Yoga" is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. Chair yoga classes typically target those with physical disabilities or aging men/women who find a typical yoga session too challenging. It is also a great form of yoga for beginners or anyone who wants to focus on a gentle practice.

The Anchor Point Food Pantry Food Line is open on Fridays from 4-6pm with a food line and a meal.
We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.
When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone.
