WesleyLife's Communities for Healthy Living created their own Olympic Games last week, with several campuses participating in activities built around camaraderie and connection. Events kicked off with opening ceremony at Edgewater in West Des Moines and continued around the organization with virtual trivia, brain games, skills competitions, and more. WesleyLife leaders were on hand to encourage a holistic health and well-being focus, cheer on competitors, and pass out medals. A good time was had by all! #healthandwellbeing #olympics #seniorliving #connection #organizationalculture Rob Kretzinger Kristy VanDerWiel, MA, SHRM-SCP

We appreciate our partnership with F&G! The Des Moines-based insurance and annuities company made a generous donation to support the Prairie Meadows Hydroponic Farm after a group of team members volunteered at the farm and learned about some of its operational needs. F&G representatives toured the farm recently to learn about the impact of the organization's donation. Pictured with farm manager Aaron Thormodsen (left) are, from left: Angela Jiskoot, community engagement manager; Ted Hughes, SVP, CIO; Tracy Smith, director, project management and program management; and Panom Foell, learning & development manager. #philanthropy #hydroponics #healthandwellbeing

Twenty-three years ago today, Jean Cleere, a resident at Park Centre, a WesleyLife community in Newton, Iowa, lost her husband, Jim, to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Here, she shares memories of his last communication, and of their years together. We continue to pray for Jean and all who lost loved ones on that terrible day. #patriotday #911 #worldtradecenter #23years

We are thrilled that the Prairie Meadows Hydroponic Farm on the WesleyLife Meals on Wheels campus is featured in this year's edition of Iowa Stops Hunger, a special publication of dsm Magazine. Read the interview with our hydroponic farmer, Aaron Thormodsen, below, which spotlights the ways a commitment to innovation drove this unique solution to enhance the nutritional value of the meals we serve to some of Central Iowa's most vulnerable residents. We are proud to be the nation's only hydroponic farm associated with a Meals on Wheels America operation — and we're just getting started. Stay tuned as we broaden our impact to the greater community! #hydroponics #hydroponicfarming #hunger #healthandwellbeing #innovation

Today is International Day of Charity, established in honor of Mother Teresa of Calcutta with the objective of mobilizing people to help others through volunteer and philanthropic activities. If you've been considering ways to enhance your impact, WesleyLife is a great place to start. Did you know that less than $10 a day, you can provide a hot, healthy meal to an older adult or military veteran in need? And if you have 90 minutes to spare even one day a month, you could deliver a meal and a well-being check to someone in need? Visit wesleylife.org/giving and choose your way to make a difference. #internationaldayofcharity #healthandwellbeing #mealsonwheels

Just look at our beautiful WesleyLife Meals on Wheels campus! We are grateful our partnership with Slingshot Architecture, which helped bring our vision to life. Check out their take below on this aesthetically and functionally superior space, which is enabling us to serve exponentially more older adults and military veterans than ever before with the delivery of healthy, hot meals. #mealsonwheels #philanthropy #healthandwellbeing
A large, welcoming front patio serves as an invitation to discover the magic that’s happening at the WesleyLife campus in Des Moines’ Drake neighborhood. Slingshot partnered with WesleyLife to repurpose a former Drake University academic building into a multi-function space that includes a new restaurant, a hub for intergenerational interaction, and the home of WesleyLife’s Meals on Wheels program, which can provide 3,000 healthy meals to seniors and military veterans every day. The basement of the building holds a hydroponic farm that produces 20,000 pounds of fresh produce every year. The restaurant, Hugo’s Wood-Fired Kitchen, was recently opened by renowned Des Moines chef Lynn Pritchard. It invites older adults, college students, Drake neighborhood residents, and foodies to experience its open-concept kitchen and expansive patio just steps away from the Drake University campus. Together, these enterprises promote wellness, combat isolation in older adults, and spark meaningful connection among diverse residents of this community.
