B Well IPT is focused on the community and it's wellness.
Wellness can be many things - physical wellness, mental wellness, financial wellness, and many others. If it affects an individual's well being, we want to be a piece of the bridge to a better place.
Quarterly, B Well IPT will donate a percentage of our profit to a cause that we feel could benefit from the assistance. We love working with our communties and learning about new opportunities to give back.

This quarter our donation will support:
The Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan and their many programs.
The nonprofit organization, based in Rochester, is a group of volunteers who do philanthropic work in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. The Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan operates several programs to help those in need, including the Operation School Bell program.
During Operation School Bell, the McKinley gymnasium was set up to look like a department store with racks of clothing and tables of various items. Each student was paired up with a volunteer who helped them shop for two shirts, a winter coat, hats, gloves, underwear, socks, a hygiene kit and a book. All the items were brand-new, courtesy of the Assistance League, and each student received a large duffel bag for all the items. The students fill out forms prior to the shopping day so the League members can get the proper sizes.
Along with Operation School Bell, the Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan operates several other programs, including “Assault Survivor Kits” for children and adults; “Wee Help” layette kits and safe sleep packages for newborns; and tutoring for elementary students.
The nonprofit organization is funded in many ways, including from tributes and memorials, special fundraising events, individuals and corporate grants. Karen Graham is a co-chair of the League’s capital campaign. “We just bought a building for $1.3 million, and we’ve raised $680,000 so far,” she said. “The building is 12,000-square feet and now we can sell furniture. Our primary goal is to get the building paid off. The ultimate goal is to eventually help more kids. We hope to increase our services.”
Money is also raised through the league’s resale shop. ReSale Connection, located at 204 S. Main St. in downtown Rochester, sells high-quality merchandise. Donations of gently used clothing and housewares are welcome during business hours.
The store hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The store is closed Sundays and Mondays.
