Help us make a fresh start possible. 🫶

Many of our residents arrive with very few personal belongings. Donations of new hygiene products help ensure they have access to everyday essentials while focusing on their recovery.

Please consider donating if you are able. Every contribution, big or small, makes an impact. ❤️

June is !

According to Mental Health America nearly 20% of American adult men - that’s around 24.6 million people - experienced a mental health condition over the last year. And yet, many men resist seeking treatment because of stigma.

In 2025, they found that men who took a mental health test on MHA Screening were two times less likely than women to ask for help. This Men’s Mental Health Month, we’re here to remind men that asking for help isn’t a weakness; it takes incredible strength.

We all have mental health. Check in with yours today at mhascreening.org.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
