July Community Serves
The ramification of this pandemic is mental health and addictions in many individuals lives. COVID-19 and previous lock downs created the onset of anxiety, depression and dependencies. As a result, we reach for anything that could restore our routine or sensibility of self. We inwardly chant, “Calgon take me away” because we want relief. Martin Luther King said, “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl, but by all means, keep moving.”  Remember: Stay healthy, stay safe, wear your mask and stay with the Creator of the Universe!

Many THANKS for all you do! We welcome your feedback on the newsletter and encourage contributions for future editions. Send your suggestions, ideas, and content to Tracey Mills, Community Outreach Program Coordinator.
