Join us in providing a precious lifeline for those living with mental illness – with a hot meal, advocacy, housing, a new start in life through job training or simply, friendship. Together we can support those that have fallen between the cracks of mental health services. Together we can fight the stigma of mental health illness and provide hope to mental health consumers in their struggle to recovery.
