Wellness Pop-Up for Employees

On September 20th, 2024, the Friendship Heights Alliance celebrated Park(ing) Day, an international movement to reimagine streets for people, by creating a one-day Workers’ Wellness Parklet on Jenifer Street. The pop-up parklet offered free coffee, 10-minute chair massages by Zen Acupressure, a strength and stretch classes from Crunch Fitness, music, and giveaways from local wellness businesses, all designed to promote health and show appreciation for the employees who keep Friendship Heights thriving.

Building on the success of Park(ing) Day, the Alliance launched Wellness Wednesday, a new initiative that pops up in office lobbies across the neighborhood to connect with and support Friendship Heights employees.
