We're proud to partner with The Center, where Vera French co-locates Community-Based Therapy services. The Center is a vital resource for our community, and they're currently facing a critical need to replace failing air conditioning units during this extreme heat.

If you're able, please consider making a donation to support their efforts and help ensure they can continue serving those who rely on their services each day. ❤️

Please see their post below for details on how to give.

Please prayerfully consider making a donation to help The Center replace our failing air conditioning units.

The Center serves as a cooling center and safe haven for our community during extreme heat, but today the temperature inside our thrift store reached 97 degrees. We currently have 14 air conditioning units, many of which were already nearing the end of their lifespan. To make matters worse, five units were recently vandalized and stripped of their copper, leaving us facing a serious cooling crisis during one of the hottest times of the year.

Your support will help us continue providing a safe, welcoming space for those who rely on us for meals, resources, peer support, and relief from the heat.

Donations may be mailed to:

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for helping us keep our doors open and our community safe

A court-ordered treatment program aimed at breaking the cycle of repeated mental health crises, hospitalizations, homelessness, and incarceration is under consideration in Scott County.

We're proud to be part of the community conversation about Assisted Outpatient Therapy (AOT) and the opportunities it creates to connect individuals with serious mental illness to the care and support they need.

Thank you to KWQC TV6 News for highlighting this important initiative and the impact it could have on our community.

Depression isn't always easy to recognize.

It can look different from person to person, but some common signs include persistent sadness, loss of interest in favorite activities, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy and difficulty concentrating.*

If someone you care about has been struggling, starting a conversation and encouraging them to seek support can make a meaningful difference.

For adults with depression who have not achieved improvement from antidepressant medication, NeuroStar TMS therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-drug, non-invasive treatment option.†
