Get Fit, Be Full!

To preempt the upcoming belly bulge, this Holiday Season Jing is donating 10% of fitness, gear, and supplement purchases from JingBody to combat hunger with Dare to Care!

A member of Feeding America, the mission of Dare to Care is to end hunger in our community through partnerships, innovative programs, and community engagement. It is estimated 175,000 people are at risk for hunger across the 13 Kentucky and Indiana counties served by Dare to Care. Last year, over 192,000 people received emergency food assistance, including 40,000 children.

While I love helping people one-on-one, it is difficult to fit in extra voulenteer work with running a business, teaching, practicing self and family care, and working toward my doctorate.
