Did You Know?
New Support Group
Friends for Mental Health is offering a new support group for parents of youth living with mental health problems (25 years old and under). It is a safe space to share experiences, break isolation, and find support among people who truly understand what you’re going through. Together, we explore ways to better understand, communicate, and take care of ourselves as parents.
Community Kitchens
Corbeille de Pain is offering Winter Baskets until April 2026. These baskets are filled with wonderful local and in-season produce, and benefit both local farmers and fellow community members. For each basket purchased, a portion of the price is considered a donation that helps make baskets accessible to more people in our community, allowing everyone to enjoy healthy, seasonal food.
