Ever wanted to start strength training but weren't sure where to begin? Or maybe you're already lifting and want a smarter plan. Either way, this package gives you a coach in your corner and a roadmap to keep going long after the session ends.

Your package includes:

• A 50-minute, one-on-one session with Anne Schwalbe of Gentle Strength. You'll move through a guided workout that includes some basic movement assessments, so Anne can see how your body moves and where to focus.
• A real conversation about your goals. Anne will talk with you about what you want to achieve, what equipment you have on hand, and how strength training can fit into your actual week, not an imaginary one.
• A custom one-month workout plan. Anne will build a plan just for you, based on your goals and whatever equipment you have, whether that's a full gym or a pair of dumbbells at home.

No pressure, no intimidation, just a personalized start to getting stronger. Bid generously and invest in yourself!

Wrap yourself in something made by hand. This one-of-a-kind quilt was pieced and quilted by one of our own volunteers, and every stitch shows the care that went into it.

Made in the Bargello technique, rows of fabric strips are offset to create a flowing, wave-like pattern that seems to move across the quilt. Rich blues and purples shift and ripple from edge to edge, giving it depth and energy whether it's draped over a couch or spread across a bed.

The details:

• Size: 75 x 81 inches, generous enough for snuggling on the couch or topping a twin or full bed
• Fabric: 100% cotton batiks, known for their vivid color and durability
• Technique: Bargello piecing, quilted on a domestic machine
• Maker: Handmade by one of our volunteers

Handmade quilts are meant to be used and loved, and they often become heirlooms. Bid generously and take home a piece that can't be found in any store.
