Our Focus
At BiG Heroes, our focus encompasses Kitchen and Gardening, Health, Wellness, Job Skills, and Production, providing comprehensive programs that foster culinary creativity, promote physical and mental well-being, and equip individuals with essential job skills for meaningful employment opportunities.
Kitchen and Garden
BiG Heroes has partnered with The Small Bites Adventure Club which shares the importance of good eating habits and nutrition through cooking activities. Teaching members about healthy cooking habits, safe appliance and utensil use, and gardening skills not only promotes wellness but also fosters a deeper connection to food and where it comes from. It's a holistic approach that encourages sustainability and self-sufficiency. Plus, using the harvested vegetables and herbs in the kitchen reinforces the connection between growing and consuming food, making the entire process more meaningful. It's a great way to promote a healthy lifestyle and environmental consciousness!
Health
Empowering members with basic health skills like proper dental hygiene, temperature monitoring, and blood pressure reading is incredibly valuable. It not only encourages proactive health management but also enhances their overall well-being and quality of life. By teaching these fundamental skills, you're enabling members to become more self-sufficient and proactive in maintaining their health, which can lead to better health outcomes in the long run. It's a proactive and empowering approach to healthcare that fosters personal responsibility and self-care.
Wellness
BiG Heroes has partnered with Bloom Fitness to offer a range of tailored fitness classes like yoga, Pilates, strength training, dance, and chair fitness as a way to promote physical activity among members of the intellectual and developmental disability community. With live and on-demand options available through Bloom Live!, members can participate at their own pace and convenience, fostering a sense of inclusivity and empowerment. It's a simple yet effective way to encourage active lifestyles and holistic well-being.
Job Skills
Helping members develop social skills, resume writing, job application completion, telephone etiquette, and career exploration is key to their success. These skills empower them to navigate the job market confidently and competently. By providing training in these areas, we're preparing them for fulfilling employment opportunities and promoting their independence.
Production
Members are taught valuable skills, where they learn how to turn ideas and raw materials into marketable items. The proceeds from selling these items are then used to fund community outings for the members. This not only teaches practical skills but also promotes independence and community engagement.
