One of FiltersFast.com's most unique benefit offerings in 2023 has been the Health and Wellness Events.

Notably, there was a significant increase in participation from the Distribution Center, with a 150% rise compared to previous years.

The diverse participation and the emergence of new winners in both challenges highlight the employees' growing commitment to health and wellness.
To further support physical and mental health, FiltersFast.com held virtual events last year with Sara Cain-da Costa, a yoga instructor and mental health expert.
