At Yemaya Wellness Center, we believe healing begins with nourishment — body, mind, and soul. This post explores local food shelters and community resources across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, reminding us that access to food is the foundation of wellness. Grounded in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, we unpack how meeting basic needs is essential to emotional safety, self-esteem, and healing.
