Wekiva High School Pantry Restock

CrossFit Winter Park • February 12, 2025

We are very excited to help a long-time member of CrossFit Winter Park, Taylor McGowan, gather donations for Wekiva High School?s School Pantry & The Clothing Closet.

Taylor is entering her 6th year as Wekiva High School's School Social Worker. She is the point of contact for all things mental health, as well as for the homeless and foster care youth in this Title I school.

 Title I is a federal education program that supports low-income students throughout the nation.  Funds are distributed to high poverty schools, as determined by the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. 

Taylor's office houses the School Pantry & The Clothing Closet. Even with federal funding, both the pantry and the closet are reliant upon donations from the community to stay up in order to supply the students with basic necessities such as non-perishable foods, school supplies, clothes, and backpacks.

Taylor says they are always in need of: backpacks, notebooks, cereal, ramen noodles, mac and cheese cups, cases of water, applesauce, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and leggings.

We are trying to collect items by August 11 th in order to distribute them right as school starts.

 

Items can be donated directly from the Amazon Wishlist (items shipped directly to school) or you can drop them off at CrossFit Winter Park.

 

Thank you in advance for your support! The kids will be the most grateful!!

I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about the benefits of creatine for strength and fitness many times, and it turns out, there's even more benefits that go way beyond performance in the gym. This INTERVIEW with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Darren Candow “Creatine's scientifically backed benefits have expanded significantly, showing promise for bones, the brain and cognitive function, cardiometabolic and vascular health, the immune system and inflammation, and even children, pregnant women, and vegans/vegetarians. It's clear that this supplement has a broad range of potential benefits beyond athletic performance.” Dr. Candow has extensively explored creatine's effects across various populations and health conditions, contributing over 140 published scientific papers which have been pivotal in demonstrating creatine's safety and efficacy beyond the athletic domain and expanding our understanding of the therapeutic and health-promoting applications across age groups. Boost Brain Function Improve Sleep Recovery Support Mental Health Promote Healthy Aging Whether you're looking to feel sharper during long workdays, manage stress more effectively, or simply support healthy aging—creatine might be worth a closer look. We carry Thorne Creatine in the office which is NSF Certified and of the highest quality. Stop by to grab a tub or their new single serving packets.
