As we continue to give thanks this season, we’d like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the businesses and organizations that supported our Power of Connection Gala last month. Your generous contributions, whether through items for our silent auction, raffle donations, or other forms of support, were vital to the success of the event and to furthering our mission. It is through partnerships like these that we are able to impact the lives of thousands of individuals each year, promoting mental health and well-being across our community. Your support allows us to continue providing essential services and creating positive change in our community. Thank you! #Thankful #CommunitySupport #GreaterMentalHealth #PartnershipForGood

As we approach Thanksgiving, Greater Mental Health would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to the many businesses, organizations, and individuals who have supported us throughout the past year. One business we’d like to highlight is Feast & Fettle, a local meal service providing fully prepared meals across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. In January, Feast & Fettle generously supported our mission through their Give Back campaign, raising an incredible $17,296 for Greater Mental Health! This donation was made possible by their commitment to donate $1 for every meal sold during the month. These funds have been invaluable in helping us continue our work in the Hudson Valley, promoting mental health and well-being for thousands of individuals each year. Feast & Fettle’s contribution not only reflects their commitment to supporting local communities, but also reinforces the importance of wellness in all aspects of life—including the nourishment of a good meal. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Feast & Fettle for their generous support and encourage everyone to follow them on social media, explore their meal services, and consider them for your holiday meals this season and beyond. #Gratitude #FeastAndFettle #CommunitySupport #GreaterMentalHealth #ThankYou
